Just for the record I noticed tonight that the strange font rendering issues 
I was having with KMail in my latest install of LM 8.0 appear to be directly 
related to the value that "charset" is equal to in the header of the messages.

If the header happens to read something like this:
...
charset="iso-8859-1"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
X-Priority: 3
X-MSMail-Priority: Normal
X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 5.50.4522.1200
...

Than my fonts look like they were hit by acid-rain, but if the headers look 
like this:

...
Content-Type: text/plain;
 charset=us-ascii
...

then everything is okay.

What I have done for now to work around this is to set "use unicode fonts for 
messages" to true under the "configuration/appearance" dialog within KMail.

Just thought I would mention this.

Peace,

Steven
