is also available.

Before apply these patches, you need to get and install a support library (version >= 0.7.1).

To enable the above mentioned features, you need to pass the following arguments to the configure of Courier.

--with-libiso2mb=/path/to/support-library: to enable multibyte character support, if you install the library into the other place than the default setting of the Makefile in the library.
--with-authnull: to add no-authentication mode to the webmailer.

To send a mail with a correct character encoding via the webmailer, you may need to insert the lines:


<tr>
  <td></td>
  <td>Name of character set:</td>
  <td>[#INPUTCHARSET#]</td>
</tr>
<tr>
  <td></td>
  <td>Specification of encoding conversion for input stream:</td>
  <td>[#INPUTCONVERTERS#]</td>
</tr>
<tr>
  <td></td>
  <td>Specification of encoding conversion for output stream:</td>
  <td>[#OUTPUTCONVERTERS#]</td>
</tr>

at the proper place in webmail/html/<your lang>/preferences.html, and to sepcify correct values at first use of the webmailer.

sqwebmail-html-ja-jp.tar.gz (25KB, 2000-11-14 14:13:30)

is a gzipped tar ball of templates for the lang ja_JP.

Specification of encoding conversion must be a comma separated list of one of the words.
