Package: sylpheed
Version: 2.4.5-1
Severity: normal

Hi!

After composing a message with some UTF-8 (non-latin1) characters in it
(e.g.: cyrillic letters), and clicking the Send later button, I get the
following error message:

| Code conversion error
| Can't convert the character encoding of the message body
| from UTF-8 to ISO-8859-1.
|
| Send it as UTF-8 anyway?
|
|                            [ No ]  [ Yes ]

If I answer Yes, the message seems to be correctly queued for sending
(and sent, when I click on the Send button in the general tool bar).

The problem is: why does Sylpheed complain in the first place?
Who did ask it to perform a UTF-8 to ISO-8859-1 code conversion?
I configured Sylpheed without ever choosing ISO-8859-1 in any
setting whatsoever.  I set Automatic "Transfer encoding" (but I also
tried quoted-printable, with no useful effect in making the error
message disappear...).
Hence no code conversion to ISO-8859-1 was requested by me, and this
error message should not appear!

I even recursively grep'ed my ~/.sylpheed-2.0/ directory in order to
check whether there was some ISO-8859-1 setting buried somewhere for
some reason, but there's no such thing, it seems:

What's wrong?
What did I fail to understand?
