Does anyone have any > idea why these messages aren't showing up with Chinese characters? Decoding library requires PHP recode, iconv or mbstring extension. Please check your PHP installation. If you don't have these extensions, gb2312 decoding can be turned on with some SquirrelMail configuration variable, but I recommend keeping $aggressive_decoding switched off and upgrading your PHP installation. Aggressive decoding code is not designed to be used on production systems. It is more like "we can do that in pure PHP and we will toast your server while doing that". Please provide more information about used PHP and SquirrelMail versions, PHP ./configure line and selected SquirrelMail translation. Please understand that people can't help you, if you only complain that things are not working and don't provide any information about your setup. -- Tomas ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
