[rt-devel] UTF8 issues on 5.6

[Jesse Vincent]

2.1.x < 71 has an issue with unknown charsets on perl 5.6. If
Text::Iconv doesn't know about the charset, RT dies horribly. 2.1.71
will fix this, but the current fix results in RT dying horribly when it
tries to redisplay the garbage characters (Such as those passed in by
korean spam):

delay=2, status=bounced (Command died with status 9:
"/opt/fsck.com-rt3/bin/rt-mailgate --queue 'cpan-questions' --action
'correspond' --url http://rt3.fsck.com/".
 Command output: RT server error.   The RT server which handled your
 email did not behave as expected. 
 It said:  panic: utf8_length: unaligned end at
 /usr/local/lib/perl/5.6.1/HTML/Entities.pm line 399.  
 Stack:   
 [/usr/local/lib/perl/5.6.1/HTML/Entities.pm:399]   
 [/usr/local/share/perl/5.6.1/HTML/Mason/Escapes.pm:32]   
 [/usr/local/share/perl/5.6.1/HTML/Mason/Interp.pm:764]   
 [/opt/fsck.com-rt3/share/html/REST/1.0/NoAuth/mail-gateway:42] 


So, autrijus, got any bright ideas here? If we don't know the charset, 
should we smash it all down to lower-127 ascii?
