Thank you for the reply. I am not using TextCat so didn't load the plugin as you suggest. The reason is that the following thread: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg69225.html
leads me to believe that TextCat might not be suitable for my needs, since (as quoted within that thread): "Textcat is not designed to decide what language the email is, but to find a set of languages it *might* be. It is very prone to declaring extra languages that are not really present due to it's design" Here is a another quote from the thread: http://old.nabble.com/Problems-with-Cyrillic-spam-td32978897.html#a32981171 It reads: "ok_locales functions by identifying character sets that can only be used for a specific language. UTF8, Windows-1255, and koi8 are not such character sets, because they can also be used to write in English." So, even though 'Default transliteration language' is set to Arabic in Gmail, could the character set used still be one of UTF8, Windows-1255 or koi8? In that case, ok_locales would fail correct?
