retitle 240256 kmail: Include an option to force 8-bit sending of mail

first of all, kudos to John Zaitseff who did a great job at narrowing
down this bug and explaining the whole situation. John, did you ever
receive some feedback from kmail developers wrt to the bugs you opened
back in April?
now for the summary:
- there is no KMail bug, if your SMTP server does not advertise the
8BITMIME capability, KMail will refuse to send 8-bit e-mails.
see John's posts for the whole story and possible solutions. may I
add one: install a light MTA and use that as your transport,
either via commandline or SMTP.
relevant KDE bugs:
http://bugs.kde.org/66604
http://bugs.kde.org/77058
- there is a *valid* wishlist to allow the user to force 8-bit
e-mails *even if* the server does not advertise this capability.
It was submitted to the KDE BTS by John, and is:

The easy way is the wrong way, and the hard way is the stupid way. Pick one.
