There are two parts to the problem:

1) The original mailer marks the mail with the wrong encoding

2) OTRS believes the incorrect header and thus converts the text to
Unicode incorrectly for web output.

As a result, you can't change the encoding setting of the web browser to
fix it.

However, OTRS also does its 'plain view' incorrectly by outputting the
raw original bytes instead of converting to Unicode to match the
surrounding page -- which has the convenient property that you *can*
change the encoding setting in the browser.

So I'd recommend using that as a workaround for the moment until we
figure out a way to patch up OTRS to handle it better.

Re: Arabic OTRS encoding

Will otrs change the encoding of the outgoing message if we change the 
encoding to win56 (or whatever) in the send form?

The tests are available at

When there's a related bug, it's noted on the name.

Wiki splitting code available

Dear All,

I posted at http://trust.cse.ucsc.edu/Code a tiny bit of code that enables
you to split a Wikipedia .xml dump into n-page chunks, for a given n.  The
chunks are then immediately (on the fly) compressed with a compression
algorithm you can choose (default: gzip).

We are using this to split a dump, to be able to analyze it in pieces in a
more manageable way.  We hope the code is useful to others as well. (It is a
tiny and trivial piece of code, btw).

creating an extension that extends QueryPage

Hi,

I'm trying to extend QueryPage into an extension, which should be
pretty simple. If I declare the class in a new file located in the
extensions subdirectory to extend QueryPage:

class BuddyPage extends PageQueryPage {
}

I get:

Fatal error: Class 'PageQueryPage' not found in
/var/www/html/mediawiki-1.11.0/extensions/BuddyPage.php on line 21

But if I include QueryPage.php:

require_once('QueryPage.php');

I get the error:

Fatal error:  Call to undefined function wfRunHooks() in
/var/www/html/mediawiki-1.11.0/includes/QueryPage.php on line 46

Seems like a bit of a chicken and egg problem, any ideas?

Travis

Generally what you should be doing is adding your file to
$wgAutoloadClasses in the extension's loader file; then the file gets
loaded on-demand when the class actually gets used. Something like:

$wgAutoloadClasses['PageQueryPage'] =
dirname(__FILE__).'/PageQueryPage.php';

QueryPage.php will be similarly loaded on demand when actually needed,
at a time when things are initialized properly.
