I installed SquirrelMail (squirrelmail-20190304_0200-SVN.stable) in Debian 9.8
and changed only the necessary options to have it logging into my IMAP server
successfully.
The problem is that utf-8 encoded emails are not being converted into
iso-8859-1 when viewing the email body. The email index presents characters in
the subject line correctly. If I set Firefox's "Text Encoding" option to
"Unicode", the email body is shown correctly.
My configuration includes:
$squirrelmail_default_language = 'en_US';
$default_charset = 'iso-8859-1';
$lossy_encoding = true;
PHP has recode and iconv installed.
src/configtest.php says that everything is OK.
I grep'ed for "recode" and "iconv" in the source code, but only configtest.php
includes these two words.
Do I need a plugin for this?
- configtest.php's output follows -
SquirrelMail configtest

changing setting to "on" solves the problem, please file a bug report against
the failing plugin. The correct contact information is most likely to be found
in the plugin documentation.
