Hi,

I looked at the email you attached, and it does not correctly specify the
character set in the Content-Type mail header.  The sender must set the charset
in the mail header, otherwise KMail will fall back on the default encoding
(which is UTF-8 for you).  It's not enough to specify it in the HTML header.

That said, there's definitely some room for improvement in how KMail handles
this -- I'll forward to the KMail devs and see what they think.  Perhaps if
KMail doesn't find an appropriate charset in the Content-Type header, it can
fall back on the HTML before trying the system default.

But for maximum compatibility, the sender should still set the charset in the
Content-Type header.

Thanks,
Josh (BugSquad)
