           Summary: Messages that lack of charset are improperly displayed
                    - there is no workaround
           Product: knode
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: arekm at maven.pl


Version:            (using KDE 4.4.3)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Unlisted Binary Package

Some versions of Microsoft Outlook Express don't add charset information even
if user enters non-ascii characters.

This is very common here in Poland (and likely other countries where non
ascii/latin1 is used by default).

Example message (real) attached. You should find it on google news via
message-id for example.

The fix (aka workaround for such common stupidity of outlook express) should be
easy - allow to specify custom charset for messages that lack proper charset
headers.
