I have resigned from SquirrelMail development four months ago. Now I maintain
only Lithuanian SquirrelMail translation, plugins that I wrote and my own forked
SquirrelMail version. I don't have write access to SquirrelMail software
repository and can't push your updates.

I can provide patches similar to squirrelmail 1.4.8.utf8-1
(http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=311&package_id=200705)
and improve decoding functions for better CJK support, but these updates will
contain my copyrights. I won't assign copyrights to some other person or
organization, because I don't know how they will react when copyrights are violated.

I don't think that you will like me as maintainer. I will refuse to make core
code modifications that break MIME rfcs. See "when charset Does not exist" mails
on SquirrelMail devel mailing list. MIME violations are quite common. They will
be visible in interface which uses utf8 and not some default country's character
set.

I strongly recommend talking to SquirrelMail devels and trying to push utf-8
updates to stable SquirrelMail 1.4 version or to some branch from 1.4.x.
SquirrelMail tracker has a bug report which can't be fixed without switching to
single interface character set.

I can help Fedora and SquirrelMail in maintenance of utf-8 SquirrelMail version,
if SquirrelMail developers respect my copyrights and updates are included in
some 1.4.x version. I will refuse to work on code included only in squirrelmail
1.5.x/2.x. SquirrelMail devels won't be able to add exemptions to current GPL
v.2 SquirrelMail license, if SquirrelMail HEAD branch contains my code written
after 2006-10-09.
