String utf8 size in kilobytes

[daniel wijnands]

I have a mimemessage in a string.
This string is utf8, i would like to know the size of this string.
String.size gives me the length in characters, but i need the size in kb
or bytes

String#size returns the size in bytes. String#jsize returns the number
of characters (with require 'jcode').

fine
