(Whiteboard: [nsbeta2+]) 

Build: 032417c ja build.

When forwarding a message inline, the Japanese words for Subject, Date, To
and From in the header of the original message are corrupted. 
When forwarding a message as an attachment, those words are in English.

Steps of reproduce:
1. Launch Mail.
2. Highlight a mail and select Message | Forward |Inline,
   on the forward mail compose page, you'll see the corrupted ja words.
   After receiving, the header of the forwarded mail is corrupted in the msg
   view pane.
3. Highlight a mail and select Message | Forward |as Attachment,
   send the mail to the testing account itself. After receiving, you'll the
   header of the forwarded mail is in English.
We have a workaround for Jab1.
Status: NEW → ASSIGNED
The workaround is in ja 032417d build.
After tallking to mscott in detail (Thanks! Scott for taking 
the time to help us), I reverted the following strings 
in "chrome: messenger: locale: ja-JP: mime.properties" to 
English for JA Beta 1.

String IDs: 1000 - 1023

When forwarding a message inline, the header of the forwarded mail is in
Japanese and is not corrupted. However, when forwarding a message as attachment,
the header of the forwarded mail is in English. This bug is only partially
fixed.

Above test results are done with Japanese 2000-07-21-09 build.
I wouldn't hold beta2 for this, this late in the beta2 cycle. i.e. I would not
pull the beta off the wire for this problem.

If it really isn't fixed, then I think we need to remove the beta2+ label and
reschedule for beta3.
I suggest that we don't deal with the headers in attachments. 
Attachments should not be modified from what you received from
the sender and that includes RFC 822 headers in ASCII.
We forward msgs to different language users and we should
not lock in headers in one language. 
If the inline headers can show in Japanese, then we should
close this bug.

By the way, I filed a separate bug to revert all inline
headers from Japanese to English for JA build. Japanese users 
may forward inline msgs to non-Japanese users and may even use 
Western encoding. I don't think it is a good idea to keep 
quoted RFC 822 headers in Japanese. 
That makes sense. Marked it as fixed.
