[imp] Re: Re: CVS Imp and Russian in body of message

Hmm.

So, I did have UTF-8 enabled.  Disabling this, results in a message being
displayed above the garbled russian text:

This message was written in a character set other than your own. If it is
not displayed correctly, try opening it in a new window.

Opening it in a new window still leaves the text garbled.

Well, it works for Japanese emails when my interface is in English.  Why
shouldn't it work for Russian?  Also, the russian shows up fine when I view
source.

Also, Russian is not multibyte, so I don't think this would apply.

I think the problem is coming from the fact that IMP isn't picking up the
correct charset.  The Japanese message has headers:

      Content-Transfer-Encoding:  7bit
      Content-Type:  text/plain; charset="iso-2022-jp"

Also, just like the russian page, the source shows:

<html lang="en-US"> at the top of the page, but that doesn't seem to break
anything.

in nls.php, my defaults are:

/* The langauge to fall back on if we cannot determine one any other
   way (user choice, preferences, HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE). */
$nls['defaults']['language'] = 'en_US';

/* The charset to fall back on if we cannot determine one any other
   way (chosen language, HTTP_ACCEPT_CHARSETS). */
$nls['defaults']['charset'] = 'ISO-8859-1';

Which is what it seems to be using?

Thanks,
Dan
