Fixed in CVS.

Works fine here. At least if you create the the calendars with utf support
enabled. See my attached screenshot.

Both messages are invalid encoded. They have no charset information in the
header resp. in the body. That's why they are displayed "as is", the only
valid option for every mail client.

I have no idea how Big5 encoded filenames are stored on an FTP server so I
can't help out here, but I'll take a closer look at the sql driver.
