Consquences of $lossy_encoding?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello all,

in the SquirrelMail installation I have inherited recently, we support
English and German, both with the ISO 8859-1 charset. When replying to
UTF8-encoded messages containing, for instane, german umlauts, there is
the usual charset problem.

I am preparing a new installation at the moment; with that one, I want
to do everything with UTF-8 to fix this class of problems. Of course
user settings, signatures, and addressbooks will have to be converted
(and we will probably put them into a database, while we are at it), so
this is not really a short-term solution.

But I understand that "$lossy_encoding = true" will heal at least some
of the problems, and that is what I would like to try with the currently
productive installation.

So, now my question is: are there any other consequences than the
intended one I should be aware of when I set $lossy_encoding = true?

Best regards,
Juergen.
