           Summary: Mail not send with selected encoding
           Product: KMail 2
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: sabine at kdab.net


Version:           unspecified (using Devel) 
OS:                Linux

The user selects an encoding for sending an email but a dialogue warn him that
another encoding will be used instead.
So the mail is not properly readable for the recipient.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
- Launch Kmail
- Click on 'New'
- Fill in the recipient (yourself), the subject and enter a few letters using
accents in the text editor (ex: ùçàèèèèééééâîùù)
- Click on 'send'
- Select the mail in your sent-mail folder
- Go to View menu/Set Encoding and select Chinese traditional (Big 5)
- Select the Chinese characters and copy them into a new email
- Enter a recipient (yourself) and a subject
- Go to Options menu/Encoding and select Chinese traditional (Big 5)
- Click on 'Send'

Actual Results:  
A warning message appears saying:'Encoding the message with ISO-8859-1 will
lose some characters. Do you want to continue?'

You have to click 'Lose Characters' to send the email so when it arrives the
Chinese characters are replaced by ?s.

Trunk, Svn Rev 1129830


Expected Results:  
The selected encoding should be remembered.
The email should contain the Chinese characters.
