I've converted the entire Italian translation to UTF-8 in the repository.
All that's needed now is to update HEAD for Italian with any translations
which are re-translated, i.e. where the strings in Italian have been
modified. If the strings in Italian aren't modified, don't bother to
convert it to UTF-8 - that's already done.

Paul, when committing Italian to the repository, you only have to do it to
HEAD ("trunk/locales/"). When HEAD is as wanted, I'll branch it back to
1.4.18. If the translation "squirrelmail.po" sent by Andrea is for 1.4.18,
merge it with HEAD and commit it to HEAD.

Sorry if I messed things up for you.

Sincerely,
Fredrik
