Dear squirrelmail sages,
I do not know whether this is a topic for the i18n list, but I am trying
this one because it is not really about translation. I use the interface
in english, and I am not about / do not want to change that.
Because I am currently working for a NGO located in Thailand, working on
Tsunami relief, I do need my users to be able to compose emails in Thai.
Now, I use mozilla thunderbird with imap support on my local machine,
and to send emails in thai, I simply changed the character set to UTF-8.
Just like I'd do on a HTML page.
I use mozilla firefox. The character set on firefox is ISO-8859-1.
Changing it to UTF-8 did not help me.
This seems to work fine, and when sending an email and accessing it with
squirrelmail, it does display right. However:
- when I reply to that message, I get garbage instead of the Thai
characters. The compose window does not seem to be able to handle
unicode characters?
- I changed the "default_charset" value to "UTF-8" (with "UTF" being
capitalized), however that did not fix the problem.
- As I cannot compose in Thai, to test, I copy and paste thai characters
from another application. They display fine in the compose window.
However, when I send the mail, and access it later- either in
squirrelmail or in thunderbird- I get this in the squirrelmail display
window:
หน้าของ
ประเทศไทย
instead of Thai characters.
When I look at the HTML source code for this mail that does not display
Thai characters correctly, I see "&#3627". So squirrelmail is
replacing the "&" with "&" when displaying the email and therefore
it is not displayed correctly.
However the problem seems to be related to how the compose window sends
the mail, since it displays fine when I send it from thunderbird?
Any help?
Johannes
