Well, FWIW:
Initially I thought KMail would simply interpret the CLI input as latin-1 or
similar, because "Beste Grüße" became "Beste Grüße.
But when I do something like
$> body="$(echo "Beste Grüße"|iconv -f utf8 -t iso8859-1)"
$> echo "$body"
Beste Gr��e
$> kmail --body "$body" somebody at somewhere.tld
I get the following in the mail body:
"Beste Gr��e"

So I can't even work around this bug in scripts - and that *is* bad news.
