           Summary: konversation does not show what is actually sent
                    (encoding)
           Product: konversation
           Version: 1.0.1
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konversation-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: kde-bugzilla thequod de


Version:           1.0.1 (using KDE KDE 3.5.8)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

If Konversation is configured to use iso-8859-1 character set, and if I enter a message with some characters outside this character set, the following seems to happen:
- Konversation silently translates the non-iso-8859-1 characters to "?" when it sends the message to the server.
- However, the chat window, the irc log, etc. show the original message.
Thus, one never knows what the other people actually see, especially if some text is copy-pasted from somewhere else, and it contains characters that look similar to normal iso-8859-1 characters.

I would expect one of the following:
1) Konversation does the translation and shows the result in the chat window.
2) Konversation gives a warning, highlights the problems, and lets me edit the message.
