Sure, in this case there will only be ?????????But without lossy encoding it's no better: "Россия" in koi8-r will become "ňĎÓÓÉŃ" in latin2.
The important difference is: with lossy encoding, it's possible to correctly reply toall emails in national language regardless of charset - i.e. if squirrelmail uses slovaktranslation, all 3 charsets used here are properly supported. Without lossy encoding, only iso-8859-2 works, windows-1250 and utf-8 are broken. This even makes some people believe utf-8 is crap, and as such it should not be used in emails :-( When the user receives russian email, he can simply switch to russian translation andreply 100 % correcly. Same for chinese.
Thus I still think it's better with lossy encoding - at least for us in latin2 region. The soonerthis is changed, the sooner will broken replies disappear at least on national level. Or pleasechange slovak translation into utf-8 also in the standard squirrelmail.
