[SM-USERS] SM v1.5.2svn - answering utf-8 encoded e-mail generates rubbish

2011-02-07 Thread Juergen Edner
Hello,
more and more ofter I'm receiving utf-8 encoded e-mail. As soon as
I try to answer one all german special characters are not converted
properly.
I've tried to find out why the conversion doesn't work properly but,
except a lot of postings describing the same effect, I found no ready
to use solution for that problem. I also read the information given on
this web page but I'm not sure how to interpret it:
http://squirrelmail.org/wiki/SupportedCharsets

Does this mean that the conversation mechanism will not work until
the german languages files of Squirrelmail have been converted to
utf-8?

On this page it's also written that the languages and the corresponding
charsets are defined in functions/i18n.php but this file is not used
anymore with SM v1.5.2svn. Does a replacement file exist for it?

I would appreciate if someone could describe how the mechanism works.

Thank you in advance!

Regards
Juergen

[SM-USERS] Problem with logging on Squirrelmail with HTC Android phone.

2011-02-07 Thread fchan
Hello,
I have an interesting issue with one of my co-workers has problem 
with logging on with Squirrelmail using the HTC Android phone and I'm 
checking if anyone else have seen this. According to my co-worker he 
noticed that he couldn't log in two weeks ago but there are no 
changes to my server (in regards mail server and Squirrelmail) and 
I'm checking if anyone has seen this.
I have no problem logging on Squirrelmail using my iPod Touch via 
Safari browser.

Thank you,
Frank

Keyword is 'lossy encoding'. Turn it on in SquirrelMail configuration. Then
you will get question marks instead of garbage and best possible lossy
conversion results.

By default SquirrelMail converts emails in replies/forwards only when target
character set supports all or most of symbols used in source charset and
conversion does not require large mapping tables. Source charset comes from
email, target charset comes from translation selected by end user. If source
charset is utf-8, only two target charsets can match its character table
size. It is other utf-8 :) and gb18030. Technically even other common
Unicode flavors (utf7, utf16, ucs) can't cover entire utf-8 range. gb18030
to unicode mapping table is huge due to backward compatibility with gb2312.

Convert German translation to utf-8, see locale/de_DE/ and help/de_DE/ files
or turn on lossy encoding.

No problems with Android 1.6 or 2.1. Although Opera Mini in mobile view and
some code changes make it more suitable for cell phone.

Probably your co-worker blocked cookies in his/her browser settings.
