You can set the message charset in your preferences.

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
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Disposition: inline
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


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.

--=_WlBTVOa8spBPkVEeMHSzfPA
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed; DelSp=Yes
Content-Disposition: inline
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


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