Multinational character input in Kmail?

[r bartlett <techwritebos@xxxxxxxxx>]

Another (usablity) question for anyone familiar with Kmail:  How can I input accented characters in Kmail such as those needed for writing French, Spanish, and so on?  Currently I open up my Open Office, use "Insert character" to get the one I need, and then cut and paste it into my Kmail document.  Is there a better way?

(I don't use HTML when composing...should I?)

Thank you very much for any input with this!
