you can edit compose.php in a way that everything going out has UTF-8  
encoding (more on that you can find in the lists archives for  
August/September or at bugs.horde.org).

I know Michael will protest, but by such bad behaviuor I solved my own  
problems (and it seems that does not make any problem with my  
correspondents) as none protests about undecipherable e-mails anymore.
