[SM-I18N] Support for multiple character sets at the same time (Japanese and Norwegian)

[Anders N. <an...@fu...>]

Hi,

One of my squirrelmail users (I am using squirrelmail 1.4.10a) is Japanese.
To be able to read and reply mails in Japanese, I:

- added the .php files in the eastasia directory to
www/squirrelmail/functions/decode.

- set language=ja_JP in the users .pref file.

This works OK. But then. The user lives in Norway, and wishes to use
iso-8859-1 charset to write Norwegian characters also. Is it possible to
support being able to write and reply with both character sets without
changing language for every time one replies/sends mail in the other
language? Like a "figure out character set by checking the email"? If
squirrelmail can not do it, is there anyone here that has managed to set
it up with another webmail package?

Right now, with language=ja_JP, charset is always set to iso-2022-jp in
outgoing mails, even if 8-bit Norwegian characters were typed.

PS: I am sorry for asking this if it is documented somewhere, but I
didn't find anything about it. Tried fiddling with default_charset =
no_NO.UTF-8 in config.php, but it didn't seem to do what I want.

Bye,
