Unreadable message without charset

[RaNd]

Some mails happen to have no default charset ( Content-Type: text/plain; charset) and as result it cannot be read by Zimbra.

Most of the mails are sent as UTF-8 and some as ISO-8859-7 with exception those without charset . . .

Can i change the default charset on Zimbra ???

A noticed that not even the xxx.msg file on storage is readable . . .

Ubuntu 6.10 Server
Zimbra Open Source Edition 4.5.2

Any help will be deeply appreciated

There's an enahancement request for this (bug 13058) in bugzilla. Please vote for it!

You might be able to work around this by setting Java's default charset appropriately. I'm not sure how that's done, however. Perhaps setting the LC_CTYPE UNIX environment variable, or adding -Dfile.encoding=iso-8859-7 to tomcat's command line.

And it's always a good idea to get your correspondents to stop using broken mailers!

Thanx a lot!!

Found this :
export LANG="el_GR.UTF-8"
or

apt-get install localeconf
dpkg-reconfigure localeconf

Some update:

Some HTML messages are sent with subject in UTF-8 but with body in iso-8859-7,
the subject is readble but not the body. If specify to read everything as text the are all readable . . .

Finally found out that amavisd-new was messing up with the message headers, as all messages that was unreadable fwere found at /quarantine and amavisd-new had add an extra header : BAD HEADER non-encoded 8bit

Now trying a workaround for this . .
