There's a list of character sets that KMail tries to use when sending mail
which are listed in the KMail settings. KMail encodes your mail with the
first character set that contains all characters in the mail.

Add UTF-8 there if you don't have it. I think it is there by default. I have 
us-ascii , iso-latin-1 iso-latin-15 and utf-8 in that order.
