Kopete: strange encoding problem after sending cyrillic letters

I'm currently having a strange problem with kopete. If the message sent contains german umlauts like "äöü" the receiver only sees cyrillic letters "дць".
The problem occurred after sending a text from a website containing a russian sentence.
If I send german umlauts and cyrillic letters in the same message all letters are displayed correctly on the receivers side. For example "дць äöü".

The global encoding for the corresponding icq identity is set to "windows-1252". I already tried other encodings like "utf8" but that didn't work (same result).
Additionally I tried to set the encoding for the specific user which by default is set to "predefined". Again the same result.
Finally I deleted kopeterc and kopete.notifyrc (from .kde4/share/config/) and history etc from .kde4/share/apps/kopete and reconfigured kopete with the icq account but again with the same effect.

Does anybody know where kopete or kde is saving the wrong encoding settings or is there anything else I can try?

The problem is gone. Kopete suddenly was working again after copying and pasting a text from a website and sending it to one of my contacts.
