Hi all! A user with german umlauts in his password is not able to login. If I use the same user/password kombination on a pure imap session (telnet localhost 143) it works. It also works with kmail from my linux workstation, but that maybe leads to another point of view. I think it could have to do with the character encoding that apache and/or php is using. I would say apache and php are using the system environment variables, but as it is not working I am not sure if they do so. Another character related problem I have is: A user gets a message with umlaut characters and they are being displayed correctly. If he replies on that message, the umlaut characters in the quoted text are being mangled somehow. Here is a excerpt of the mail header (opened with kmail) ---------- ... User-Agent: SquirrelMail/1.4.9a MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit .... ----------- Here are some infos about my system: Gentoo Linux squirrelmail-1.4.9a Cyrus IMAP 2.2.12 apache-2.0.58-r2 php-4.4.4-r6 # locale -a C de_DE de_DE@euro en_HK en_PH en_US en_US.utf8 es_MX fa_IR fr_FR fr_FR@euro it_IT ja_JP ja_JP.eucjp ja_JP.utf8 POSIX # locale LANG= LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 and from squirrelmails config.php: $squirrelmail_default_language = 'de_DE'; $default_charset = 'iso-8859-15'; $lossy_encoding = false; If there is anything else that I should/need to provide to solve this, please tell me. Maybe I can make screenshots? Probably the best way to show encoding problems ... TIA, Timo ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
