When using Webmail with the German UI locale and sending an email  
containing Cyrillic characters, the characters are transformed to  
question marks. This seems to be due to the email being encoded in  
ISO-8859-1:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
User-Agent: Internet Messaging Program (IMP) H4 (5.0.20)
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed; DelSp=Yes

When sending a mail with Cyrillic characters using the Russian  
interface locale, everything is fine (at least the mail saved in the  
Sent folder is displayed correctly):

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
User-Agent: Internet Messaging Program (IMP) H4 (5.0.20)
Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="=_WlBTVOa8spBPkVEeMHSzfPA"
MIME-Version: 1.0

This message is in MIME format.

I think, email encoding should not depend on the interface locale,  
better use UTF8 in all cases.
