[gentoo-user] Kmail and incorrect character encoding

[Daniel D Jones]

My son recently started complaining that my replies to his emails caused his 
computer to prompt for the system disk and showed up blank.  (He uses Windows 
and Outlook, unfortunately.)  If I send him a new email, it works find.  If I 
reply to his, it causes problems.

I took a look at my replies to him and found this:

Content-Type: text/plain;
 charset="iso-8859-6"

I looked at his email, to which I was replying,  and found:

Content-Type: multipart/alternative;
  boundary="----=_NextPart_000_0000_01C76655.354C13A0"

There is no charset line in his email headers.
 
Anyone have a clue as to why Kmail might be setting the reply to charset: 
iso-8859-6, which is Arabic?  I can't find anything in his emails to cause 
this.
