Bug Description

Binary package hint: kdepim

I have my contacts stored on a kolab1 (ical/vcard) groupware type IMAP server. When accessing them from Kontact, the encoding of non-US character is fine. When I open klauncher, and type one of the contact with non-US character, it is fine as well. But when I validate "Sending mail to this contact", and kmail opens a new mail window, the encoding is wrong. It looks like a Latin1/UTF-8 conversion problem.

Hi there!

Thanks for reporting this bug! Your bug seems to be a problem with the KDE program itself, and not with our KDE packages. While we appreciate your issue, it would be better if it was tracked at https://bugs.kde.org, so that the KDE developers can deal with this speedily and have direct communication with you as the reporter for more effective debugging.

Thanks!
