Good advice for SugarCRM developers about Inbound Mail

[Skipidar]

In file InboundMail.php it's better to use strtolower($param->attribute) == 'charset', cause i found out that some clients send word CHARSET in header and your function cant recognize message charset.

Code:
if($tempObj->ifparameters) {
foreach($tempObj->parameters as $param) {
if(strtolower($param->attribute) == 'charset') {
return $param->value;
}
}
}

Can you explain this a little bit please??

Ok, I'll try to explain
Every Email has some parts - header, body, etc... Every header must have info about letter's charset, something like charset='utf8'... But i've found out that some mail programms can write CHARSET (uppercase) and then Sugar's Inbound Email cant recognize letter's charset in the right way... And mbstring module cant convert it to your current CRM's charset, so we got problem with writting data into database and showing it (errors). Code i've written before helps to handle that. I know my english is ugly, but i've tried.

Thank you so much, I understand it now perfectly, very nice to know that problem.

It's much better than mine...
