Re: Japanese characters in attachments?

I did, but it didn't work. I had to use Shift_JIS for everything. I
mean, the body of the messages is converted to Unicode correctly, but
not the attachments. The problem here is that the message bodies are
encoded using ISO-2022-JP, while filenames are encoded in Shift_JIS.
MHonArc converted the ISO-2022-JP body to Unicode, and the Shift_JIS
filenames to HTML entities, so if I chose to use Unicode in my browser I
could read the message, but not the filename, and if I chose Shift_JIS I
could read the file names, but not the messages.

I 'solved' it using a bit of preprocessing using sed and nkf, but it's
neither elegant nor robust. It will break if someone sends (for example)
an attachment with an EUC-encoded filename.

Hmmm, we have the archive running already and I prefer not to touch it.
I'll install MHonArc later in my own server at home
(http://www.ag0ny.com) and I'll do some testing with my mailinglist
archives.
