Hi All,

Today I've been working with Milan Chra from Redhat/Evolution on one of
our oldest issue: the ability to display subject and email body properly
in Linux console or 3rd party applications in foreign languages.
Typically languages different from English where accents or special
alphabets are used such as Cyrillic, Mandarin, Japanese, Indian, French,
Swedish and so on.

This topic has also been discussed on OpenChange trac:
http://trac.openchange.org/ticket/183


We also came up with a solution but which were never implemented so far:
move the dcerpc_init call to functions where we actually make use of the
dcerpc layer and use the user's charset as specified in mapiprofile.

Using this method, we should also fix "Illegal Sequence of Bytes" as
described in http://trac.openchange.org/ticket/123

We'll next probably have to implement some convenient functions that
would let us customize the encoding on purpose, for example when the
body charset is different from the user's one. However I think the
overall logic makes sense.

I'll be working on a preliminary patch tonight and post more details
about the implementation when it's ready.

Cheers,
Julien.
