Summary:                    Non-UTF characters in a mesaage's body
Description: 
Table: dbmail_messageblks.
Column: messageblk.
The default type of this column is longtext and encoding -- utf8.
When message is not in UTF encoding (KOI8-R for example), dbmail tries to
insert  it as is. But mysql, does'n allow to insert non-UTF characters in
utf longtext type column.

IMHO, there are two ways to solve it:
1) Change type of messageblk to longblob
2) Convert message to UTF on the fly.

mysql version: 4.1.11a-4sarge1

Using us-ascii as encoding for the dbmail_messageblks table instead of 
utf-8 will probably resolve this. This very same problem has been reported
on pgsql many times, and changing the encoding to us-ascii has always been
effective.
