Hello,
first off, thank you for your quick reply.
When I look at the HTML source code for this mail that does not display
Thai characters correctly, I see "&#3627". So squirrelmail is
replacing the "&" with "&" when displaying the email and therefore it
is not displayed correctly.
SquirrelMail displays them correctly. You are not supposed to use html
formating in plain text email. html entities from plain text emails are
displayed as html entity codes in SquirrelMail.
So you are saying my mistake is to copy and paste from another application?
Used SquirrelMail version? Older SquirrelMail versions ignore
$default_charset configuration variable, because it is possible to
misconfigure interface. 1.4.5 uses $default_charset only with en_US
translation.
sorry. I really should know better than that, not to include the version.
I am using the debian package from the stable distribution, so it's 1.4.4.
Could you select Russian or Lithuanian translation and try composing
emails in them? If your SquirrelMail installation does not have
locale/ru_RU, locale/lt_LT and other translation files, interface will
remain in English.
I do not use the Thai translation. I thought, or assumed, that a
translation changes the whole interface to another language. I do not
want that at all; I want to use the english interface, but be able to
compose emails in Thai.
SquirrelMail supports utf-8. If you use utf-8 or any other multibyte
character set, use of SquirrelMail 1.4.6cvs or 1.5.1cvs and PHP with
mbstring extension is recommended. Older SquirrelMail versions don't
encode headers correctly. If mbstring extension is not present, interface
does not break, but it reverts to broken quoted-printable encoding.
Interesting .. But *should* this work with 1.4.4?
One problem is, how do I compose thai in the compose window; the other
is, the characters get messed up when I reply to a mail with thai
characters in it.
I thought I was really copying and pasting unicode characters, not html
entities! I will have to do some further testing, but not today (it's
late in thailand). Do you need any more information from me- do you
recommend posting on the i18n list, too?
thank you,
Johannes
