[imp] Japanese character support

[Daniel Wyss]

If you use Internet Explorer and have the appropriate language pack
installed, it is possible to view messages encoded with different character
sets. Here is a link to some documentation I have written up for our system.


http://www.colorado.edu/ITS/docs/webmail/data1.html#13

Basically, you can open the message source and then choose the type of
encoding to view it with for example Japanese, or, if you use IE,
right-click in the frame that contains the message and select the encoding
from the menu that pops up.

Ah, okay. No one seems to have done a Japanese translation for 2.2. So what
you
need to do is either make a translation, or just copy the files from
locale/en
into locale/jp, add that language, and have your users use it, so that the
charset gets set correctly.

I tested with 2.3, and when I switched to Japanese (just added the charset;
no
translation is done yet), the test message (which I bounced to my server)
came
up showing characters correctly (after IE prompted me to install a language
pack).
