Thanks for the hint. I overlooked that one.

In your extension-code, it seems like you have missed the encoding of 
the From: header which is built by convertName().

Also, the function getCharSet() should probably check 
config.metaCharset. Better than inventing a new option 
config.tx_kbmailcs_formMailCharset, IMO. Or am I wrong?

Of course the preferred way to handle multiple charsets in BE is by 
using unicode, but still it is possible to have separate websites using 
different charsets in one db, exclusively assigned to different 
BE-users. Therefore, the charset should be set according to the current 
template.

I also hope this could go into 3.8. Should be basic functionality. No 
actual need for an extension, IMO.
