Ahhh.. beautiful, it's actually partly my fault, I had noticed that
mambo was forming the headers incorrectly but I didn't know that this
customer was receiving the e-mail through mambo.
// Btw. asking mambo developers to follow standars is like asking an
contractor to be on time.
Thanks for all the help, I'll take care of mambo.
Best regards, Arnor

Hi, I'm sorry about following up so late, but the problem is that it is
one of our customers that is having these problems (and propably more of
them, but nobody lets me know (and most are using POP3)).
I've gotten him to give me the complete set of headers (and this is not
easy, giving that he is a normal user).
This is what he got (I've put the whole output through filters to make
sure all the characters don't change):

He says that when he presses the reply button, the characters turn from
questionmarks to the actuall characters.
Any ideas ?

Contact Mambo developers and ask them to follow mime and header encoding
standards.
1. 8bit header information MUST be encoded. RFC 2047.
2. Message MUST have Content-Type header with character set information.
If character set information is missing, interface can't determine which
character set is used. Format is defined in RFC2045.
3. Message MUST have MIME-Version header, because rfc2045 requires this
header.
4. Message MUST have Content-Transfer-Encoding header. Format is defined
in rfc 2045. Default header value is 7bit and your email contains 8bit
text.
We live in a world based on standards. SquirrelMail and your IMAP server
are not the ones that violate message formating standards.
Question marks are added by SquirrelMail US-ASCII decoding function.
functions/decode/us_ascii.php file. I suspect that removal of this script
will fix your issue. Please note that correct solution is to fix Mambo
scripts.
