Hello, there seems to be a bug in sqwebmail where Japanese mail get crippled i.e. characters get modified and not readable any more. The problems seems to occur when 'soft breaks' (flowed format) are inserted into the text. The text is encoded in 'quoted-printable' format and according to the RFC soft-breaks are inserted 'between words'. The problem with Japanese text is that the normal text flow does not contain spaces. This necessarily leads to lines exceeding the predetermined text length. - - From what I can see the program is searching for (single byte) space characters and then applies soft breaks. However, a single byte space character is likely to be the first or second byte of a double byte Japanese character and thus the inserted soft break destroys the character. Test (1) with lines of over 50-60 (single byte) chars length show crippled characters. Test (2) with very short lines of about 20 (single byte) chars was transmitted without problems. Text already got crippled when saved to the 'draft' folder. I have screen prints to show the problem. If you should require them please let me know where to upload them to.
