Item8294: A couple of improvements: Utf8 encoding and attachments list after an entry

Here I send a couple of improvements we had to this extension: - The first is to repair the text entry when the email is encoded in latin so we encode in utf8 before doing the change. - The second is to put a list of links for the attachments included in the email right after the entry text (by now we have the wiki list of attachment at the bottom of the page but in this form is more easy to find one file by context)

I suspect that a better way to get a list of links to the attachments below each email would be to update the %ATTACHMENT% template. In System.MailInContribTemplate, I would change this:

%TMPL:DEF{MAILIN:normal:ATTACHMENT}%      * %A_FILE%

to this:

%TMPL:DEF{MAILIN:normal:ATTACHMENT}%      * [[%ATTACHURL%/%A_FILE%][%A_FILE]]

Encoding to UTF-8 is appropriate when the site encoding is UTF-8. Whatever encoding the mail comes in, it should be converted to the site encoding, so the patch is correct in principle, but in practice will end up breaking most sites.

On the attachment links, Michael's suggestion is the right way to go.

I changed the default template in MailInContrib:4a417cbb59cd.
