Kmail features in use
======================
* OpenPGP/MIME Signing
* Picture, to be sent with each mail, is set, for "X-Face" mail header in use.

How to Reproduce
=================

1. Compose a mail to yourself.
2. Type some non-Latin characters in body, e.g. some Devanagari characters (unicode character range U+0900 – U+097F), and also enter some Subject.
3. Now, select "Unicode (iso-10646-ucs-2)" encoding option from "Options"->"Set Encoding".
4. Press Send button.
5. A dialog box titled "Some characters will be lost" with two buttons "Loose Characters" & "Change Encoding", pops up on the screen. Select "Loose Characters" option.
6. Now, check inbox. And you'll find mail with no content in body.

Expected Behaviour
===================
The dialog that pops up in step 5, should not be there, as all the characters are part of Unicode character set.
