I admit it, I'm a c++ klutz, however I think I've gone about as far as I can go
without building kdelibs and qt for debug also, which I don't want to do on my
workstation, maybe I'll try it later on the Gentoo box.
The badness has already happened in MessageComposer::breakLinesAndApplyCodec()
at text = mComposeWin->mEditor->text():
(gdb) p text.ascii()
$23 = 0x8341500 " text"
# this should have been "\ttext"
which suggests the problem is deep in KEdit. If I poke a tab into the string,
and continue, I get a complaint later that "Not all characters fit into the
chosen encoding." I chose "send anyway (and lose characters)", and lo, the tab
made it through to the drafts folder. The encoding is supposedly set to
us-ascii. Last time I checked, us-ascii had a tab. Maybe this is a clue.
