--- Comment #4 from Raúl <rasasi78 at gmail.com> ---
Interestingly enough, I have the following results using "kmail --view" with
these attached files:
- Sample email with iso-8859-1 text body (Content-Type UTF-8): Shown correctly,
even Content-Type is wrongly specified as charset=UTF-8
- Sample email with iso-8859-1 text body (No Content-Type specified): Shown
incorrectly.

I have tested Kmail preferences -> composer -> charset with default "us-ascii"
as first option and prioritizing utf-8 (either as system locale or forced) with
no differences in behaviour. 

Also when opening email file, I have tested changing encoding in view->set
encoding. Default is auto, but trying utf-8 works for any of the iso-8859-1
encoded files. For utf-8 email, choosing utf-8 encoding in the view menu does
not work and any other worsen things.

Doing kmail --view would be a typical use case when I want to send a git
format-patch generated file.

I have experience this wrong behaviour since a long time ago. Only that I
hadn't reported it. Also, I used to convert files to iso-8859-1 to sort out the
issue.
