           Summary: kmail does not handle message encoding properly on
                    replies (base64 encoded multipart message)
           Product: kmail2
           Version: Git (master)
          Platform: Gentoo Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: marc at links2linux.de


Version:           Git (master) (using KDE 4.6.2) 
OS:                Linux

I just received a multipart mail with following headers:

Content-Type: multipart/alternative;
    boundary="_000_2E0B97FC886742438D4972827280027E32DA419325MAILSERVHwwhl_"

And then with multiparts:

--_000_2E0B97FC886742438D4972827280027E32DA419325MAILSERVHwwhl_
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64

And:

--_000_2E0B97FC886742438D4972827280027E32DA419325MAILSERVHwwhl_
Content-Type: text/html; charset="utf-8"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64

When I hit reply, I get garbage instead of german umlauts in the quoted text of
the message body:
