Installing the iconv extension (or possibly the 
utf8locale-without-swidth-040319 package for FreeBSD) resolved this. 
Thanks for the help.

I can't reproduce this with the latest released versions. Whether I 
choose the windows or the koi charset in the compose view, the message 
is sent correctly.

Maybe you don't have the mbstring or iconv extensions installed?

This is the same issue as mentioned in ticket 2021, however I don't 
believe it is resolved as of 4.0.3: IMP H3 (4.0.3) Final. A message 
composed with the KOI8-R charset selected in the charset dropdown of 
the message composition window is actually sent using Windows-1251 
charset. A sample message is attached.



KOI8-R is indeed the standard charset for Cyrillic email. Even though 
using Windows-1251 is often an issue in itself for recipients, it 
wouldn't be too bad if the Content-Type header said so. But  instead 
it has KOI8-R, which misleads MUAs into using an incorrect charset by 
default when displaying the message.
