Christian Mack 2015-07-13 14:44 developer ~0008724	Check the LDIF standard https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2849.txt There it always says ASCII or (UTF-8 and base64) encoded for all entries. Also guessing which 8-bit encoding was used in an input file is impossible in an automated way. So SOGo can not do that automatically.
