Hi,

Firstly I don't read Russian, but I'd rather see incomprehensible glyphs than 
question marks :-)

I recieved an email trying to sell me something.  In the main window the 
message is displayed correctly (well, the subject is scaled poorly, but that 
is almost certainly a problem with me not having a truetype russian font).

However in the message list, the subject is ?????..., looking at the file in 
a text editor, the subject line is:

Subject: [I18n]=?koi8-r?B?0M/Nz8fJ1MUg09DB09TJIM3BzMXO2MvVwCDExdfP3svV?=

So clearly the kio8-r is supposed to tell KMail to swap to kio8-r encoding 
for this subject line, which seems to be accepted when displaying the bulk of 
the message with standard headers, but not the message list.

More seriously, when I hit reply I get ? characters all through the body.  
Clearly I have kio8-r fonts installed or I wouldn't have been able to see the 
message, but kmail has decided to use an 8859-1 font for replying.

This is running KMail 2.2 from the RedHat RPMs.
