Hello all, I am trying Squirrelmail for the first time and am having some problems with garbled display of Japanese text.
I have installed the Custom-charset plugin and set my Squirrelmail Display Settings -> Language to "English (custom)". I frequently send and receive message with Japanese text. When I view saved (IMAP) messages, the Japanese text displays frequently (but not always) as mojibake. The mail are usually ISO-2022-jp encoded. Often the mojibake starts at a "、" (U+3001) character. When I choose Japanese as the interface language, the emails display correctly but of course so too do all the interface elements which I want to remain in English. Japanese text in Shift-JIS encoded email is totally unreadable whether i/f language is english or japanese. I have no problem reading any of these emails with Thunderbird. Below are other details of my config. Are there some instructions somewhere that say how to get Squirrelmail to work reliably with east-asian character sets and encodings (iso2022-jp, sjis, euc-jp)? Spent near a whole day Googling outdated, erroneaous and incomprehensible information and figured its time to ask... :-) ---------------- Fedora-15 Squirrelmail-1.4.22 from Fedora repo with plugins delete_move_next, squirrelspell, newmail. custom_charset-1.1 installed from d/l tar file. php-5.8.3 apache-2.2.21 imap: dovecot-2.0.17 have iconv and php iconv support enabled >From php info: Multibyte Support enabled Multibyte string engine libmbfl HTTP input encoding translation disabled mbstring extension makes use of "streamable kanji code filter and converter", which is distributed under the GNU Lesser General Public License version 2.1.
