There is absolutely no difference whether you use IE or Firefox forreplies/forwards.The resulting mail sent out from Squirrelmail is broken and notconformant to RFC2046, since it is not allowed to mix differentcharsets in the same text/plain part. And I'm pretty sure it's alsonot allowed to declare HTML form as being ISO-8859-2 and thenautomatically insert ISO-8859-1, Windows-1250 or UTF-8 characters intoit, since every browser must be confused from such messed HTMLdocument.

Nope, I'm saying that $lossy_encoding should not be configurable andmust be always on, otherwise the outgoing replied/forwarded emailsdon't conform to RFC2046.

Yes, sure. But that's another situation - while in replies/forwardsthe Squirrelmail itself is reponsible for breaking standards, typingnon-ISO-8859-2 characters is user responsibility.Anyway, I definitely believe the users should not be limited this wayand therefore I fully support conversion of all translations intoUTF-8 as soon as possible.
