Yes, you need to ask your ISP for backresolving, and you need to make sure the mail comes from whatever your ISP backresolves you as.

crossover office info
Hi People, I'm getting lots of emails from people asking about CrossOver Office hebrew related issues, and most of these people are subscribed here - so I thought to explain everything here, so if you're not interested in this info, feel free to drop this email to /dev/null ;) Now to some info: Crossover office works both as single installation (its installed on your home directory, so you don't need to be the admin of the machine you're using) and as multiple installation (you need to be root and the installation goes by the default to /opt/cxoffice. You don't need to add paths or to setup anything). Once you install it, you'll see CrossOver sub-menu in both KDE GNOME, but not on the older Window Managers like Window Maker, XFCE, ICE-WM, BlackBox (not sure about englightment), etc... If you're using KDE or GNOME, then at the end of the application installation, you'll get a menu with options of what to associate with whom, so you can setup .doc/.xls for example (there are tons of associations!) to your KMail, or Evolution, to Konqueror and to Nautilus. If you want to use MS Outlook, then you can use it, but files will not be run automatically and you won't be able to open any executable file. You're also protected from Klez and it's friends, so no need for Anti Virus. I have tested outlook with both Hebrew and english, and it works perfectly. Application executions - all of the applications can be executed just like any normal Linux applications - example: ~/cxoffice/bin/excel, ~/cxoffice/bin/winword etc.. If you want the MS icons (the crossover installation extracts them for you as XPM files), they are available at ~/cxoffice/support/dotwine/fake_windows/Windows/Icons (based on the file assocation, so Word icon is doc.xpm) - (just for fun, you might want to open such an XPM with text editor). Hebrew issues: Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Outlook opens, read, write, and edit text in hebrew pretty well. You just need to add something like LANG=he_IL before the execution of the app, example: LANG=he_IL ~/cxoffice/bin/winword. All the parameters that you want to feed to word are allowed here as well (for OLE, opening document, auto print, etc..). However - There seems to be a problem which I'm not sure if it's related to KDE or something else - the CTRL RIGHT-SHIFT key sequence (to work from right to left) works on my RH 8.0 machine with Window Maker, but not on my KDE on RH 7.3, so as a workaround you can use the hnormal.dot (hebrew normal template) to write new hebrew documents. Editing existing documents works ok. I hope this info helps to people who asked me privately and to those who were curious..

Do you know if there is there any way to install the supplementary language pack? And finally a comment: On my SuSE 8.1/KDE system, Ctl Right Shift does nothing. I just toggle the little languge flag in the dock tray from USE to Hebrew (as I did to insert the Hebrew message above). Regards, Daniel Hetz Ben Hamo wrote: Hi People, I'm getting lots of emails from people asking about CrossOver Office hebrew related issues, and most of these people are subscribed here - so I thought to explain everything here, so if you're not interested in this info, feel free to drop this email to /dev/null ;) Now to some info: Crossover office works both as single installation (its installed on your home directory, so you don't need to be the admin of the machine you're using) and as multiple installation (you need to be root and the installation goes by the default to /opt/cxoffice. You don't need to add paths or to setup anything). Once you install it, you'll see CrossOver sub-menu in both KDE GNOME, but not on the older Window Managers like Window Maker, XFCE, ICE-WM, BlackBox (not sure about englightment), etc... If you're using KDE or GNOME, then at the end of the application installation, you'll get a menu with options of what to associate with whom, so you can setup .doc/.xls for example (there are tons of associations!) to your KMail, or Evolution, to Konqueror and to Nautilus. If you want to use MS Outlook, then you can use it, but files will not be run automatically and you won't be able to open any executable file. You're also protected from Klez and it's friends, so no need for Anti Virus. I have tested outlook with both Hebrew and english, and it works perfectly. Application executions - all of the applications can be executed just like any normal Linux applications - example: ~/cxoffice/bin/excel, ~/cxoffice/bin/winword etc.. If you want the MS icons (the crossover installation extracts them for you as XPM files), they are available at ~/cxoffice/support/dotwine/fake_windows/Windows/Icons (based on the file assocation, so Word icon is doc.xpm) - (just for fun, you might want to open such an XPM with text editor). Hebrew issues: Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Outlook opens, read, write, and edit text in hebrew pretty well. You just need to add something like LANG=he_IL before the execution of the app, example: LANG=he_IL ~/cxoffice/bin/winword. All the parameters that you want to feed to word are allowed here as well (for OLE, opening document, auto print, etc..). However - There seems to be a problem which I'm not sure if it's related to KDE or something else - the CTRL RIGHT-SHIFT key sequence (to work from right to left) works on my RH 8.0 machine with Window Maker, but not on my KDE on RH 7.3, so as a workaround you can use the hnormal.dot (hebrew normal template) to write new hebrew documents. Editing existing documents works ok. I hope this info helps to people who asked me privately and to those who were curious..

It does that. To make sure, write a cgi script (if you don't trust PHP) that displays its input as text/plain, and create a form in UTF8 that sends to that script. Actually, both IE5 and Mozilla will encode characters which aren't present in the charset of the page which contains the HTML form, as Unicode entities (e.g. #blah;). snip To avoid this behavior, simply make this page, which contains the HTML form, in any Unicode encoding -- UTF-8, UTF-7 or UCS-2 (yuck!). But I stated in my first email that I patched phpnuke to do utf-8. The first thing I did was to change the charset= attribute.I even patched the xml container (standard feature of xhtml) because it also specifies a charset, but there is no difference. I must say that I now tested the site with konqueror (see below why I am using galeon for this site) and indeed it is a mozilla unexpected (to me) behaviour which caused the translation of utf8 to numbered entities. I think I will write a maintenance script that will access the database directly and chage numbered entitiesback to utf8, easier than changing parts of the php code which I didn't research sufficiently. Is there a way to disable this translation feature of mozilla and ie? [NOTE: I ASSUME THAT THE DISCUSSION IS TOTALLY OFF-TOPIC] I do not think that mozilla translates UTF-8 to HTML entities. I work constantly with UTF-8-based applications (which I've written myself), that submit data via HTTP and store it in database. Working with Mozilla (starting from 1.0+) and MS SQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle the real/correct UTF-8 is stored in the database. I assume that the problem is related to how PHP handles the response from your browser. Mozilla probably doesn't provide the response character set, during form submission and Konqueror does, hence the difference between them. Now, when PHP doesn't have a response content type it probably assumes some default (say, iso-8859-1) and escapes every out-of-the-range character by HTML entities. The conclusion is that you need to persuade PHP that the submitted response is encoded in UTF-8. I don't know how exactly to do it. Maybe disabling magic quotes or related stuff will help... The whole matter is complicated by the fact that konqueror will crash on large texts pasted into textarea boxes of forms, and I am posting long papers (20-30 pages), so I have been using galeon.
