SqWebMail 5.4.0:

• The internal address book file is now always encoded with UTF-8.
When upgrading to this release, if your address book contains
non-Latin characters encoded in any other character set, you must
manually transcode it to UTF-8.

Can you clarify this please?  I know that some of my users use
SqWebMail, but I don't know what they have in their address books.  What
will the result be for these users if they have non-Latin characters
that are not UTF-8 encoded in their address books?

They won't be able to look up address book when sending mail and/or the address book dropdown on the message composition screen will show garbled recipient's names.

To figure out how much your impact is, just grep everyone's sqwebmail-addressbook for 8-bit characters.

Transcoding the address book file involves merely running iconv on it. You will have to figure out yourself which native character set is used, and it may vary from user to user, because it is driven by the user's browser.
