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.
