The utf7 encoding seems to be used quite a lot in Europe for emails (probably because it's more compact and readable than utf8+base64 or utf8+quopri). Some systems use the encoding name "unicode-1-1-utf-7" for 'utf7': http://www.google.com/search?q=unicode-1-1-utf-7 This patch adds this name as an alias for utf7.

Logged In: YES user_id=21627 There's no uploaded file! You have to check the checkbox labeled "Check to Upload & Attach File" when you upload a file. In addition, even if you did check this checkbox, a bug in SourceForge prevents attaching a file when creating an issue. Please try again. (This is a SourceForge annoyance that we can do nothing about. :-( )

Logged In: YES user_id=89016 Here's another version of the patch. BTW, "UNICODE-1-1-UTF-7" is explicitely mentioned in RFC 1642 (http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1642.html)
