Kaboom: Greek letters in Kontact

[Jens Radloff <plixplox@yahoo.de>]

Hi,

Having applied Kaboom all email folder names, email subjects and the 
content of all mails in Kontact (being part of KDE4 in Debian Squeeze 
6.0.4) appear with Greek letters.

This is an unexpected behaviour because the email folder names, email 
subjects and the content of all mails in Kontact in my Debian Lenny 
installation are in Latin letters.

What I did:

My current productive system is Debian Lenny. I want to switch to Debian 
Squeeze, but without upgrading from Lenny to Squeeze, but instead by 
installing a new, fresh Debian Squeeze and migrating my KDE settings 
and data from Debian Lenny to Squeeze.

So did I. I installed Debian Squeeze in a test installation. Before that 
I backupped my KDE data and settings (among other data from Kontact) in 
Debian Lenny.

Then I installed Squeeze 6.0.4 in another partition. I then created a 
new "normal" user account in Squeeze (without root priviliges) using 
the adduser command. I then copied the backupped KDE settings and data 
from Lenny to the home directory of the new user in Squeeze. Then I 
logged into KDE using this new account, and the Kaboom wizard appeared 
at once. I used this wizard to migrate my KDE settings and data from 
Lenny.

When I now start Kontact in Debian Squeeze, then, as described above, 
all email folder names, email subjects and the content of all mails in 
Kontact appear with Greek letters.

What can be done to display the email folder names, email subjects and 
the content of emails in Latin letters?

By the way, the content of calendar, contact and tasks dates that I 
migrated with Kaboom are shown with Latin letters in Kontact in Debian 
Squeeze. And a re-login into KDE did not resolve the behaviour.

Jens
