           Summary: Fallback charset encoding not respected
           Product: kdepim
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Unlisted Binaries
        OS/Version: Linux

         Component: messagelist

Mails that have a subject that are not correctly encoded are not displayed
correctly, despite setting a fallback charset encoding in KMail's config.

Example: I have a mail with the following subject:
Subject: Eingangsbestätigung Ihrer Bestellung

This is clearly invalid, as it is not RFC2047-encoded. For such cases, KMail
has the option to specify a fallback encoding, which I set to ISO 8859-15.
The message list does not respect that fallback encoding and displays an ugly
"?" in place of the "ä".

Such invalid mails are quite common.
