  i18n@lists.horde.org listserver and share your work/progress there - it's a
  pretty low traffic list, but the core team and a few other people interested in
  it (and translations in general) hang out there.

+ Now that I have an interim patch to show you,  I wanted to 
+ do what Linus said everyone but wimp does (uploading my
+ file to the internet)... But, bugzilla here doesn't let
+ me add an attachment... Anyway, with my patch, IMP
+ decouples UI language and MIME charset (of incoming
+ and new messages). That is, having UI language set
+ to Japanese does NOT mean that you can't exchange
+ French/Russian/Chinese/Korean/Thai  emails.
+  
+  Still missing are :
+ 
+  - charset menu in the composition pop-up window
+    (users have to go all the way back to option
+     menu to change the default charset for a new message)
+ 
+  - automatic detection of 'unrepresentability' of
+    characters in a given MIME charset and alerting
+    users about the problem and suggesting UTF-8
+    (or a locale-dependent alternative. e.g
+     ISO-8859-1/15 -> Windows-1252 
+ 
+   - and more.....
