            Bug ID: 3260
           Summary: convert content to make it searchable
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: Claws Mail
           Version: 3.10.1
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P3
         Component: Plugins/Archiver
          Assignee: users at lists.claws-mail.org
          Reporter: gour at atmarama.net

Hello,

while playing with the Archiver plugin, I noticed that I can not search tarball
arhives for the content written in my native (Croatian) language.

Soon, I've 'discovered' that all the messages in Claws (both under IMAP and MH
folders) are stored as 'ASCII text' filetype with the 

'text/plain; charset=UTF-8' Content-Type 

header and therefore after I select some folder to archive it as *.tar.gz, it
is not searchable for the content containing native (Croatian) characters (eg.
č,ć,đ,š,ž).

In other words when I try:

tar -O -xf folder.tar.gz |  ag 'somecontent'

I get result only for 'somecontent' not containg native chars *or* containing
native chars in the Subject.

So, in the same way as the Subject of the message file is properly encoded, I'd
like if the Archiver plugin could, somehow, encode the content itself according
to the charset contained in the message itself?

Otherwise, the plugin is usable only for searching archives with the plain
ASCII text.

Of course, Claws has powerful searching capabilites, so I'd like to have
similar features available for my archived content which can make Claws more
speedy by not keeping old mail eternally. :-)


Sincerely,
Gour
