This is UTF-8.

Maybe you have set a fixed override encoding in KMail. Check the Message 
Window tab on the Appearance page of KMail's settings dialog.

"Fallback character encoding" should be set to the encoding that most 
messages lacking encoding information are encoded with. I've set it to 
Western European (iso-8859-15).

"Override character encoding" should be set to Auto unless there is a 
very good reason not to do so. Otherwise, all messages are treated as 
being encoded with the "Override character encoding" which will cause 
problems with differently encoded messages.
