Hi all, seeing that 3 more languages are going to switch to UTF-8 for SM 1.4.18, I'd like to propose to switch the SM's default_charset to UTF-8 as well. The definition for it resides in config/config_default.php and I suggest to modify it as follows: ------------------ /** * Default Charset * * This option controls what character set is used when sending mail * and when sending HTML to the browser. By default it's set to 'utf-8', * which ensures that mail written in any charset could be handled correctly. * * This option is active *ONLY* when default language is en_US. In other * cases SquirrelMail uses charset that depends on default language. * See $squirrelmail_default_language * * If you're seeing any strange problems with UTF-8, you might try to set * the default charset to 'iso-8859-1'. * @global string $default_charset */ $default_charset = 'utf-8'; ---------------------- The above change will have zero impact on existing installations, since this template file is used just for fetching defaults during first SM installation. Anyway, I do belive that setting this to UTF-8 is a good way to express our common preference for UTF-8 and initiate migration towards it. What do you think?
