--- Comment #2 from Stefan Dösinger <stefandoesinger at gmx.at> ---
I think some of my understanding of what triggers the bug is wrong: I tried
setting up my email account in a fresh Linux user on the amd64 system: The
result is that the umlaut in the "From: " and "To :" fields are properly
=?UTF-8? escaped. So that it works there has nothing to do with my year old
grown config.

Other than the CPU architecture, the other difference I could spot is that the
x86_64 system had accessibility libraries enabled (gentoo +accessibility use
flag), whereas the arm64 system did not. I am changing that on the arm64 system
now and will report back. It doesn't seem to have an effect on akonadi and
kmail specifically, but it does affect Qt.

Other things I tested and I am convinced have no effect:
* Wayland vs X11
* The language (english vs german) that is active when setting up the email
account
