I'm not an expert, but I think it's not very wise to mix locales. Set everything to en_US.UTF-8 try again. > what are 'ISO-8852-1 mails'? Your kmail was not set to send UTF-8 mails (did you change this?), but used the encoding ISO-8859-1 for the previous mail, that's why the smiley face you meant to send came up ... a bit different :) It's probably not related to your problem.
