[SM-USERS] Language Support

[Jason R. <jro...@sw...>]

Hi,

I wrote to the list last month about enabling squirrelmail to view 
emails that were composed in other languages. Some languages, such as 
Russian, display properly, while others, such as Chinese, do not. Thomas 
Kuliavas provided some helpful info:

1) Our OS needs to have CJK font support. Our OS already seems to 
support this since we recently tested Horde and messages composed in 
Chinese displayed properly.

2) Squirrelmail doesn't support CJK characters by default -- an 
additional decoding library needs to be installed. We went ahead and 
installed squirrelmail-decode-1.1 which I noticed placed a number of 
additional php files in the functions/decode directory. Messages 
composed in Chinese, however, still do not display properly -- the 
characters are all "junk."

One mail I received has the following Content-Type listed in the header: 
'text/plain;charset="GB2312"' I notice that a gb2312.php script is 
present in the functions/decode/ directory, though. Does anyone have any 
idea why these messages aren't showing up with Chinese characters?

Thanks a lot,
Jason
