           Summary: Content-Transfer-Encoding set to 7bit with utf-8 charset
                    (and all chars except Latin are lost)
           Product: kmail
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs kde org
        ReportedBy: sbeilin narod ru


Version:           svn r812925 (+/-) (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
Compiler:          g++ (GCC) 4.2.3 (Ubuntu 4.2.3-2ubuntu7) 
OS:                Linux

Content-Transfer-Encoding is now always "7-bit". That's OK with English language and Latin chars, but all national (Russian for me) chars are lost, no matter utf-8 or koi8-r is used. This happens both to the sent message and it's copy in "Sent" folder.

For multy-part messages, the text/html part with utf8 charset is transferred as base64 (and no chars lost :), but the text/plain is partially (!) corrupted with some chars lost and wrong linebreak (it seems at 1/2 of the amount set, but that's another bug). These lost chars are at these linebreaks. It seems that it is first encoded and then linebreaked :)
