When I try to send a message I get the warning shown in the attached image saying not all characters fit into the chosen encoding.
Could someone please give me a hint what to do?
Normally I would poke around and try to find something but I'm testing some changes to our spam filter by forwarding an 84MB email and with that compose window open my system is just a touch slow right now.
Thanks,

Ah, no clue, but if you change your KMail launcher to this:
nice -n 2 kmail -caption "%c" %i %m
then the rest of your system won't bog down when KMail does. Pick the nice level that works for you...
Best, Michael

I think
In KMail Settings -> Composer -> Charset
choose utf-8 or utf-8 (locale)

I have us-ascii, iso-8859-1, utf-8 (locale), and utf-8 all allowed so I'm a little surprised that none of these work. My best guess (this is an 84MB email I'm trying to forward to test our spam filter) is that it's got some 8-bit stuff somewhere in it which is not utf-8.
Thanks for the advices peeps. I think I'll just push on with the spam testing as I haven't seen this with any "real" emails I wanted to send.

In my configuration utf-8 (locale) is first one. I think it is working down the list. I do not think size matters, but I must admit I have read RFCs related to mail long time ago What I remember is that 7bit is not able to encode non ascii. So you have to use either quoted printable or 8bit. In my configuration it is quoted printable. This is in the general settings. I reffer to my config, because I am using Kmail as primary mail client for about 20y now and I use it with UTF-8. Last but not least when you open new mail - what is your configuration under options and encoding?
