There is absolutely no difference whether you use IE or Firefox for
replies/forwards.
The resulting mail sent out from Squirrelmail is broken and not
conformant to RFC2046, since it is not allowed to mix different
charsets in the same text/plain part. And I'm pretty sure it's also
not allowed to declare HTML form as being ISO-8859-2 and then
automatically insert ISO-8859-1, Windows-1250 or UTF-8 characters into
it, since every browser must be confused from such messed HTML
document.

Nope, I'm saying that $lossy_encoding should not be configurable and
must be always on, otherwise the outgoing replied/forwarded emails
don't conform to RFC2046.

Yes, sure. But that's another situation - while in replies/forwards
the Squirrelmail itself is reponsible for breaking standards, typing
non-ISO-8859-2 characters is user responsibility.
Anyway, I definitely believe the users should not be limited this way
and therefore I fully support conversion of all translations into
UTF-8 as soon as possible.
