Not browser issue. If user already can display texts written in same language, then it is not OS issue. Unless user selects stylesheet with font that does not support text in Arabic. If you want to exclude OS issues, check http://www.alanwood.net/unicode/ or find other unicode demo pages. If you use Linux or Unix with Gnome - it has gucharmap utility, which can display unicode character ranges. If message is in text/html - issue should be fixed in SquirrelMail 1.4.6rc1. If message is in text/plain and uses windows-1255 or iso-8859-6 character set, SquirrelMail should display it correctly since 1.4.3. Arabic utf-8 is displayed correctly since 1.2.11 and 1.4.0. If you have mbstring func_overload enabled, issue should be fixed in 1.4.5. Replies might have some issues related to limitations of character set used by selected translation. I18n bug.no. 1235345. SquirrelMail uses one broken way by default, when other broken way might look less broken in unilingual environment. If SquirrelMail does not display text/plain message correctly, most common problem is not in SquirrelMail. It is in free interpretations of rfc 2045 chapter 4 and chapter 6. If SquirrelMail has text alignment issues with Arabic, Hebrew or Farsi, we might try solving them out, if we get constructive feedback and explanations about what is wrong. -- Tomas ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
