 FYI, headers must be in plain ASCII (RFC822).  But I agree that everyone
 wants to have a subject in the same language as the body.

I'm not sure which RFC says that at least Subject (but also From, To
and may be others) headers can contain non-ascii text (properly encoded).

decent webmail software - does it exist?

2004-11-17 Thread Timur Irmatov
Hi!


As it is said on site of Mutt: all mail clients suck. this one just
sucks less.  Now I can add to this statement that all webmail
programs suck, and unfortunately I can't find the one that sucks less.
:)

I am russian-speaking person, and thus main requirement for webmail
software is complete and robust support of russian language - both in
interface and emails.

I tried SquirrelMail.  At first look it seems to be pretty good.  But
then I noticed that I can't properly reply to messages containing
russian text if message is encoded in any encoding other than utf-8.
Developers of SquirrelMail say that current version does not support
charset encoding in reply/forward.

Then I tried IMP.  It cannot properly display messages in utf-8
charset.

Then it was OpenWebMail.  It has problems with Subjects containing
russian text.

Does anybody has positive experience with any webmail software with
respect to i18n?

 IMP from testing/unstable work with utf-8

well, works but with some flaws. I have installed 1.5.0 development
version, it allows me to reply to emails containing russian text but
it seems to miscalculate lengths of lines with russian text and
because of it those lines are wrapped too often than necessary.

may be it is fixed in CVS, don't know.

 Try IlohaMail. It is robust and fast and also multilingual. Looking at 
 the demo on their site. It appears to support Russian. Not being Russian 
 Speaking myself I can't tell how well it handles it, but it looks 
 Russian to me :)

Thank you, I'll look into it.
