Override locale to using UTF-8 when calling KDE handler (659 bytes, patch)

Description Kevin Krammer 2006-10-23 13:44:15 UTC 
The KDE code in xdg-email or rather KDE's mailto URI parsing gets a problem 
when we pass our UTF-8 URIs and the session's locale isn't UTF-8, because it 
assumes that the unescaped URI is actually a string in the program's locale.

No problem for systems where the locale is set to UTF-8

Override locale to using UTF-8 when calling KDE handler

Setting the locale variable LC_ALL to C.UTF-8 before calling the KDE handler
program "kmailservice" seems to work.

Tested with KMail, Evolution and Thunderbird as KDE's preferred mail client
