Consquences of $lossy_encoding?

Hello all,

in the SquirrelMail installation I have inherited recently, we support
English and German, both with the ISO 8859-1 charset. When replying to
UTF8-encoded messages containing, for instane, german umlauts, there is
the usual charset problem.

I am preparing a new installation at the moment; with that one, I want
to do everything with UTF-8 to fix this class of problems. Of course
user settings, signatures, and addressbooks will have to be converted
(and we will probably put them into a database, while we are at it), so
this is not really a short-term solution.

But I understand that "$lossy_encoding = true" will heal at least some
of the problems, and that is what I would like to try with the currently
productive installation.

So, now my question is: are there any other consequences than the
intended one I should be aware of when I set $lossy_encoding = true?

Best regards,
Juergen.

HOW CAN I CREATE SQUIRRELMAIL

HOW CAN I CREATE SQUIRRELMAIL AND MAILER?

JAMES.

Hello List,

We are trying to use MySQL backend for storing user information and Global
Address Book. We have installed Squirrel Mail 1.4.22. The PHP version is
5.3.3 and mysql version is 5.1.52. The OS is RHEL 6.1 (64 bit). The
following is the details of the database configuration that we have made:

SquirrelMail Configuration : Read: config.php (1.4.0)
---------------------------------------------------------
Database
1.  DSN for Address Book   :
2.  Table for Address Book : address

3.  DSN for Preferences    :
4.  Table for Preferences  : userprefs
5.  Field for username     : user
6.  Field for prefs key    : prefkey
7.  Field for prefs value  : prefval

8.  DSN for Global Address Book            :

10. Allow writing into Global Address Book : false
11. Allow listing of Global Address Book   : true

japanese text in emails gets mojibaked

Hello all,

I am trying Squirrelmail for the first time and am having
some problems with garbled display of Japanese text.

I have installed the Custom-charset plugin and set my Squirrelmail
Display Settings -> Language to "English (custom)". 

I frequently send and receive message with Japanese text.
When I view saved (IMAP) messages, the Japanese text displays
frequently (but not always) as mojibake.  The mail are usually
ISO-2022-jp encoded.  Often the mojibake starts at a "、"
(U+3001) character.  When I choose Japanese as the interface
language, the emails display correctly but of course so
too do all the interface elements which I want to remain in 
English.

Japanese text in Shift-JIS encoded email is totally unreadable
whether i/f language is english or japanese.  I have no problem 
reading any of these emails with Thunderbird.

Below are other details of my config.

Are there some instructions somewhere that say how to get 
Squirrelmail to work reliably with east-asian character sets
and encodings (iso2022-jp, sjis, euc-jp)?  Spent near a whole 
day Googling outdated, erroneaous and incomprehensible information 
and figured its time to ask...

Questions on Address Book Grouping Plugin

Hello,

We have installed and we are experimenting with the very nice Address 
Book Grouping and Pagination Plugin.

I would like to ask (because I haven't been able to find out if and how):

1. Is there a way to display a column in the addresses listing showing 
the group(s) each address belongs to? This is a must because otherwise, 
esp. when an address belongs to multiple groups, it is hard for the user 
to be able to realize and easily handle group memberships.

To save space, a color could be assigned to each group (at creation) and 
then a palette (a set of little colored squares) of relevant colors for 
each address (depending on group memberships) could be displayed under a 
Group column.

Additionally, for group selection I always believe that a series of 
checkboxes is much more handy (for the vast majority of users) for 
multiple selection of groups. If this would (could) be implemented, we 
would like to display the name and color of each group next to each 
checkbox.

2. Also, in general for the address book: Is there a way to 
select/unselect with one click all addresses displayed, e.g. a button 
"Toggle All"?(It may be cumbersome if the number of addresses to select 
is big.) This would fit nicely with group functionality, because all 
displayed addresses (e.g. for a particular group or for multiple groups)

If the above features are not available, could I ask for them?

Thanks and best regards,
Nick
