    _______________________________________________________

Details:

It seems there is no support for UTF-7 encoding.  Example of MHonArc
archive:

http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-performance/2008-02/msg00060.php

The same email on another archive:

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.db.postgresql.performance/14938/focus=14939

I took a peek at the encoding code in MHonArc, but I think adding support for
a new encoding is a bit over my head.

Thanks for a great software.

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #22427 (project mhonarc):

UTF-7 was never adopted as a standard and its use is
discouraged.  This may be the first time I've seen
an example of its use in the real-world.

Perl's Encode module should support utf-7.  Therefore,
if utilizing the TEXTENCODE resource to normalize all
test to a single encoding, utf-7 encoded strings should
be converted.  Using TEXTENCODE is recommended when working
with archives that may contain multiple languages.  It
also provides performance advantages over relying on
CHARSETCONVERTERS.

Unless someone contributes a utf-7 converter for use with
CHARSETCONVERTERS, utf-7 will only be supported the
TEXTENCODE route.

Note, one may do the following if basic conversion of
utf-7 encoded strings in message headers is desired
and TEXTENCODE is not being used:

<CharsetConverters>
utf-7; mhonarc::htmlize
</CharsetConverters>

It is not a perfect solution, but it may adequate for
most cases.
