squirrelmail-1.4.6-7.el4 The whole ja_JP web interface is written in EUC-JP, but in the .spec file, the help files are converted to UTF-8: for a in `ls help/$LOCALE/ 2>/dev/null` ; do iconv $SKIPINVALID -f $CHARSET -t utf-8 help/$LOCALE/$a > $a.new && mv $a.new help/$LOCALE/$a done Resulting in a completely garbled help file. The attached patch converts the UTF-8 back to EUC-JP before showing it. Another work-around is obviously to not convert the file from EUC-JP in the first place.
Created attachment 130816 [details] squirrelmail-encode-japanese-help-for-web.patch
We aren't sure why the interface is in EUC-JP in the first place. This requires more investigation.
Trying this by avoiding conversion of the help file... Will test.
Testing in FC with squirrelmail-1.4.7-2.
