Firefox works correctly with SquirrelMail in utf-8. i wish it did in the server sql address book i have CREATE TABLE `address` ( `owner` varchar(128) collate utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL, `nickname` varchar(16) collate utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL, `firstname` varchar(128) collate utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL, `lastname` varchar(128) collate utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL, `email` varchar(128) collate utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL, `label` varchar(255) collate utf8_unicode_ci default NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`owner`,`nickname`), KEY `firstname` (`firstname`,`lastname`) ) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_unicode_ci COMMENT='Adresse'; should this not work with squirrelmail ? or is this one here better CREATE TABLE `address` ( `owner` varbinary(128) NOT NULL default '', `nickname` varbinary(16) NOT NULL default '', `firstname` varbinary(128) NOT NULL default '', `lastname` varbinary(128) NOT NULL default '', `email` varbinary(128) NOT NULL default '', `label` varbinary(255) default NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`owner`,`nickname`), KEY `firstname` (`firstname`,`lastname`) ) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=binary COMMENT='Adresse'; ?
