Outgoing Charset Encoding

[tokyo-thomas]

Hi,

I am new to roundcube webmail. I installed beta2 a couple of days ago, and was so happy since I finally found a multilingual webmail client which works without flaws in Japanese. Although my excitement went a bit downhill after upgrading to rc-1, because I missed an important feature. I am not able to set the charset for outgoing emails anymore. Default seems to be now UTF-8.

I believe before the default was UTF-8 and for individual messages the user was able to change it to another encoding. That's I believe would be the best approach. Look at Thundermail which does it exactly that way.

In japan UTF8 is not as widespread as it should. Most Japanese cellphones doesn't support it. Same with corporate email software sometimes. I am sure also in other languages there is the same issue.

So please help me, I want that feature back

Otherwise... roundcube is amazing! I just love it!

okay... found a solution so far...

Seems that the function was only removed in the template itself. So modifying the compose.html so that the charset selecter is back wasn't very difficult...

But anyway... it would be nice to understand why this was removed.

Edit compose.html


Replace the following
---
<div>
<roundcube:button type="input" command="send" class="button" label="sendmessage" />
<roundcube:button type="input" command="list" class="button" label="cancel" />
</div>


By the Following
---
<table border="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%" summary=""><tbody><tr>

<td>
<roundcube:button type="input" command="send" class="button" label="sendmessage" />
<roundcube:button type="input" command="list" class="button" label="cancel" />
</td>
<td align="right">
<roundcube:label name="charset" />:&nbsp;<roundcubebject name="charsetSelector" tabindex="8" />
</td>

</tr></tbody></table>

You are right!

I prefer the following:

<div>
<roundcube:button type="input" command="send" class="button" label="sendmessage" />
<roundcube:button type="input" command="list" class="button" label="cancel" />&nbsp;&nbsp;
<roundcube:label name="charset" />:&nbsp;<roundcubebject name="charsetSelector" tabindex="8" />
</div>
