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.
