When sending email with Korean language, you can type in your email with Korean characters without problems, but after sending it you'll see all Korean characters encodes as &#[number]; - instead of the actual characters.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Make sure you can enter Korean (Text Services and Input Languages)
2.Go to www.hotmail.com or www.gmx.com, and log on
3.Write an email message with Korean charaters, e.g. with ¶a, send it to yourself
4.The received email will show &#[number]; e.g. 요 instead of the symbols you typed in

Actual Results:  
Instead of the typed in "¶a" you'll see "요"

Expected Results:  
Instead of the typed in "¶a" you'll see "요"

Firefox can display the 요 correctly as "¶a" if you save to a text file and change the file type .txt to .html
