I read that page so I wanted more real life example so I can learn
should I install this plugin or is it for special use scenario cuz I'm
not charset expert sorry. Your explain adds little bit more info but not
enough to know do I need it or not. BTW not your fault-- I didn't ask
myquestion good enough
If Dovecot has trouble to decode some windows charsets and the plugin
fixes this problem then why is it a plugin and not built in as a fix?
