Sending mail in Unicode is broken

Sending html mail in Unicode seems broken - at least for Cyrillic encoding.

Even before sending, in the outbox, the message is already gibberish.
Ok, changed encoding manually to UTF-8, it looks ok then.
Edited it and saved in Outbox again: reverts to gibberish again.
Changed encoding to something else and back to UTF-8: readable again.
Sent to a gmail account. Received gibberish and no way to choose a correct
encoding,
selecting utf-8 or any Cyrillic encoding does not help.

Details: WinXP SP2 Pro with IE7, fully updated; both current user & default
OS language is English.

For now, have to send "as is" or.... use Google mail.
Duh. The beta is over, but the beta quality still here....

Regards,

Re: Sending mail in Unicode is broken

Have you made sure you've changed the International Settings under
Tools/Options and the Send tab?

No I haven't. Why this is neded?
The default encoding is left as "Western European (ISO)".
