Hi,

When composing a mail which contains UTF-8 characters and the auto-save draft timeout occurs, the dialog that appears talks about "Sending" the mail in UTF-8 format. You have to click the button that says "Send in UTF-8" to save the draft which is thoroughly confusing as the user may think they are actually sending the email there and then (which they are not).

This also happens when manually saving a draft but it is slightly less worrying then as the context is more conducive to knowing that the dialog text is inappropriate (tho' it should still defo be fixed!)!

It may only happen with IMAP mail, dunno about local mail.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Setup an IMAP account (my is Cyrus server)
2. Compose a plain text mail and slap a € or something in it.
3. Hit Ctrl+S to save a draft.
Actual Results:  
Incorrectly worded dialog

Expected Results:  
Correctly worded dialog

Using the Mandriva beta packages from cooker.
