You probably have ISO-8859-1 in:
Configuration -> Common Preferences -> Display ->
Encoding -> Outgoing character encoding
So when you've copy-pasted some Unicode symbols into
Sylpheed's "Compose" window and pressed "Send",
Sylpheed tries to convert your messeage into
ISO-8859-1 but fails because some of the symbols are
not present in this encoding. It then asks you if
you'd like it to send the message in the original
encoding, UTF-8.
You don't mind UTF-8, you can choose it as the out-
going encoding and thus get rid of this message.
Otherwise, pay more attention to what you are in-
serting in the compose window.
