           Summary: kmail does not handle charsets for mail body when
                    replying to a decrypted mail properly
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 4.7
          Platform: Gentoo Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: mschiff at gentoo.org


Version:           4.7 (using KDE 4.7.1) 
OS:                Linux

When kmail decrypts a mail the display of the mail body is shown correctly.

But when hit the reply button, the quoted mail body text has garbage characters
for non-ascii characters (german umlauts for example). Looks like utf8 text is
shown with charset set to latin1 or something like that.

This lookes exactly like a bug that has been in kmail2 for regular unencrypted
mail as well some time ago.





Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
- Have a encrypted mail in your mailbox
- Have some non english text in that mail (german with umlauts in my case)
- Let kmail decrypt and display that message
- Hit reply button to open mail editor with quoted mail text

Actual Results:  
Das Ganze sollten wir mit logischen Kriterien vollständig testen.

Expected Results:  
Das Ganze sollten wir mit logischen Kriterien vollständig testen.

What might help to debug this:

If I select some text in the mail body before replying only that text will be
quoted and that text will have everythign allright then.

So, just reply with no text selected: Whole text is quoted with wrong encoding
And selecting whole text, then reply: Whole text is quoted and looks fine
