Re: [Mimedefang] Email in Korean language becomes clutterd and unreadable when received.
Sorry, the headers are unavailable. The Korean buyer left a few days ago. Before leaving, he had switched to his domain's SMTP server for further correspondences. His Operating System (Win XP) was entirely set in Korean language. However, I have some lines from Spamassasin report: 3.2 CHARSET_FARAWAY_HEADER A foreign language charset used in headers 1.0 BAYES_60 BODY: Bayesian spam probability is 60 to 80% [score: 0.7083] 0.0 HTML_MESSAGE BODY: HTML included in message 1.8 MIME_BASE64_TEXT RAW: Message text disguised using base64 encoding 2.5 MIME_CHARSET_FARAWAY MIME character set indicates foreign language Someday other Korean or Chinese or Japanese people will visit our customers and send mails using our SMTP. So, need to be prepared.

So, need to be prepared. Where/how do I set charset in mimedefang configuration? Do you prepend the SPAMAssassin report into the message? Or mangle the message otherwise? You can craft such message yourself: 1) use a subject with Korean phrasea 2) use a sender with a Korean comment 3) write a text with the Korean charset and let it encode with base64. E.g. use the Google translator, then recode the UTF8 stuff into EUC-KR or KSC_5601. Or check your SPAM for mails in Big5. Alternatively, drop the config option about languages.

So, need to be prepared. Where/how do I set charset in mimedefang configuration? If my guesses are right then the problems are (usually) caused by email client configuration - lack of using MIME to explicitly declaring charset used in message. AFAIR default configuration of Outlook Express *fails* to declare charset used in message header. Quite a few mail server fills missing charset for non ascii messages = You may consider providing links (to microsoft web pages) for properly *fixing* it -- [plen: Andrew] Andrzej Adam Filip : a...@onet.eu He is not only dull himself, he is the cause of dullness in others. -- Samuel Johnson ___ NOTE: If there is a disclaimer or other legal boilerplate in the above message, it is NULL AND VOID.
