Steps to reproduce:

Write (/Reply) Mail with Chinese Char using yahoo mail (smtp.mail.yahoo.com)
Send Mail

Actual results:

  1. The Sent Folder (for yahoo sent) 1st (some times) Got ??? instead of Chinese char
  2. OK, Sent Folder ^^ Display Chinese Char Correctly
  3. BUT E-Mail Receivers Still Got All "????" for Chinese chars
    (No Problem for Subject, Chinese Chars display OK)
  4. Similar Bug seems applied to smtp.aol.com
  1. Yet Composite & Send E-Mail with Other smtp mail server(s) OK, like smtp.mail.com, mail.smtp2go.com
  2. Composite with K-9 Mail on Smartphone OK for Yahoo Chinese

Expected results:

SUPPORT UNICODE (Chinese, E Asian) Char For Most, at least Popular SMTP Servers like Yahoo, AOL
