Thanks a lot Mike.
I didn't find what to do with your first suggestion but the second one
(using smtp to localhost) works perfectly. I never thought about it
because I thought that using sendmail was equivalent to an smtp to
localhost. Obviously it is not.
Just a little sidenote for non English Kmail users : Kmail complained when
contacting smtp localhost that the server didn't accept 8 bit messages
and wanted me to use Quoted Printable instead (I hate QP cause I want my
messages to be readable by a basic text editor).
Yet telneting to localhost showed that exim4 responds well to my ehlo
command (of course it does !). I finally found a work around here :
http://lists.debian.org/debian-qt-kde/2004/04/msg00357.html
and added "accept_8bitmime = true" to my
/etc/exim4/exim4.conf.template
