Sure? :-)

Follow the instructions I provided earlier and switch to "western 
european (iso-8859-1)", then click on the "apply default to all messages

You mean "0-2 = Kmail" ;-)

Anyway, I can't see anything from that images. We need to see the message 
window list where the name of the sender is displayed not the body of the 
message.
