Config management is pretty easy nowadays. All you have to do is add a=20
new entry to kmail.kcfg like the following one:
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
      <entry name=3D"OutlookCompatibleAttachments" type=3D"Bool">
        <label>Outlook-compatible attachment naming</label>
        <whatsthis>Turn this option on to make Outlook &#8482;=20
understand attachment names containing non-English=20
characters</whatsthis>
        <default>false</default>
      </entry>
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

I suggest to add the new entry to the "Groupware" group.

You can access the value of this config key via
    GlobalSettings::self()->outlookCompatibleAttachments()
and set it via=20
    GlobalSettings::self()->setOutlookCompatibleAttachments( ... )

If you need more information about this I suggest reading the KConfig XT=20
tutorial=20
(http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Using_KConfig_XT).

Ingo
