Package: squirrelmail
Version: 2:1.4.9a-2
Severity: normal
I'm getting trouble in Firefox/Iceweasel to read and download
attachment files that use special characters like "á", "à", "é", "è",
"ç", etc. in its name. When I click to download them I got an error
page in these browsers but it (strangely) works fine in the Internet
Explorer.
My encoding settings are defined as below:
...
$squirrelmail_default_language = 'pt_BR';
$default_charset = 'iso-8859-1';
$lossy_encoding = true;
...
I tried to debug the code and I fixed the problem by sending the
filename encoded as quoted printable if the the user isn't using a
browser of the Internet Explorer's family. I couldn't find a
"quoted_printable_encode" function in the original code so I create a
new one and added it in a separated file named
"/functions/quoted_printable.php". To fix the problem I called the new
method at some specific places the the "/functions/mime.php".
I'm sending the mime.php patch and the file containing the
"quoted_printable_encode" function. I don't know if this is the best
way to solve the problem but it worked for me. :)
