--- Comment #6 from Thomas McGuire <mcguire kde org>  2008-11-15 01:10:42 ---
SVN commit 884446 by tmcguire:

Work around a problem in KEncodingProber which would detect UTF-16LE for
most binary files (for example PNGs) with confidence 99%, which is obviously
wrong. Sometimes it is also UTF-16BE.

This caused KMail to encode the filename and sometimes the whole message in
UTF-16 (even for CSV files!), which most clients don't seem to understand.

The workaround is to blacklist UTF-16 and rely on our own charset detection
in this case instead.
