Sure, in this case there will only be ?????????
But without lossy encoding it's no better: "Россия" in koi8-r will become 
"ňĎÓÓÉŃ" in latin2.

The important difference is: with lossy encoding, it's possible to correctly 
reply to
all emails in national language regardless of charset - i.e. if squirrelmail 
uses slovak
translation, all 3 charsets used here are properly supported. Without lossy 
encoding, 
only iso-8859-2 works, windows-1250 and utf-8 are broken. This even makes some 
people believe utf-8 is crap, and as such it should not be used in emails :-(
 
When the user receives russian email, he can simply switch to russian 
translation and
reply 100 % correcly. Same for chinese.

Thus I still think it's better with lossy encoding - at least for us in latin2 
region. The sooner
this is changed, the sooner will broken replies disappear at least on national 
level. Or please
change slovak translation into utf-8 also in the standard squirrelmail.

Thanks,
Miro
