Some of my installation are working fine with mails written in hindi but one of my installation is showing me garbage value if i look in to the header part is shows ;-
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: multipart/alternative;
boundary=00163646c6b4bd59cb048b327681
look at the second line and tell me is there anything wrong with this mail ...
Is there any thing creating a problem in the middle ???
Note: Correctly showing the subject part which is also in hindi.

charset, Content-Transfer-Encoding and MIME-Version headers must be used. If
email does not follow MIME standards or provides false information about used
character set, broken mailer must be fixed instead of SquirrelMail display
code.
Character set must be supported by SquirrelMail. wiki has page with supported
charsets. Other charsets can be added, if charset's mapping to Unicode table
is publicly available. If symbols used in charset are not supported by
Unicode, they will be replaced with ?. If charset has large mapping table and
symbols can't be mapped with simple code, this charset must be supported by
PHP recode, iconv or mbstring extension. General rule - charset with more
than 256 codepoints must be supported by external charset conversion library,
if it is not some Unicode variation.
Browser and OS must support particular language. Firefox and other Gecko
browsers need fonts with symbols for that language. IE might need some OS
updates or language packs.
Users must complain and provide constructive feedback and help, if they want
to solve particular charset or text alignment issues.

plugin code or character set used by user's translation does not support
Hindi symbols or user overrides character set in browser.
I think current stable display code has some quirks that are triggered, if

you view html-only email in text mode, but they are specific to some European
languages.
SquirrelMail supports utf-8 display since 1.2.9. utf-8 decoder supports all
utf-8 byte sequences. If I remember correctly 1.4.5 version improved html
display and converted email text to character set used by webmail user in
compose, if output charset supported all or most of input charset symbols.
In real life it means that only utf-8 translations can fully use this feature,
because other charsets don't cover all symbols supported by UTF-8 and list of
other compatible charset pairs is really short.
If users use Gmail in Hindi (tested only Devanagari version), their emails are
composed in utf-8. SquirrelMail can display those symbols in any translations
(I can't give 100% warranty for Japanese).
