Re: building an Arabic encoding correction tool

[Hamed alSuhli <hamedsuhli at gmail dot com>]

In M$ word -> tools -> correct corrupted text,
أدوات-> إصلاح النص المقطوع
this tool assumes that the text is binary corrupted,
and try to rebuild it, to match the languages you choosed, not just the 
encoding
only changing the encoding don't work on such text.
because there are many transfers and encoding protocol involved,
mime, base64, utf-8...etc
I'm talking of such tool.
this problem almost happens between multi Emails transfere systems,
especially if there are header modification or body addition as in groups.

at the end, encoding assumption at the opening of file existed in OOo,
and more powerful than M$, but this is not our case.
