This is a well known problem in Squirrelmail and I'm sorry to say that  
it does not seams to be fixed either. The developers will not admit  
there are problems! The bad implementation of foreign encoding is a  
very good reason for all non English-speaking people to stay away from  
SM.

I have choosen to use Horde in stead of Squirrelmail because all  
encoding problems in SM. Horde is a much better choice.
