I don't think that SqWebMail can handle ISO-2022-JP (character
enchoding scheme (CES) used in Japanese e-mail) even if it would
include any mapping table between coded character sets (CCSs) in the
scheme and Unicode.
ISO-2022-JP is 7bit CES (i.e., it uses one or two octets in the range
0x21..0x7E to represnt a character), and switches 4 CCSs (US-ASCII,
JIS X 0201 Roman, JIS C 6226, and JIS X 0208) by following escape
sequences:
US-ASCII : 0x1B 0x28 0x42
JIS X 0201 Roman: 0x1B 0x28 0x4A
JIS C 6226 : 0x1B 0x24 0x40
JIS X 0208 : 0x1B 0x24 0x42
On the other hand, SqWebMail assumes that the range 0x21..0x7E is only
used by US-ASCII, and that any Non US-ASCII character is represented
by one or more octets in the range 0x80..0xFF.
