Imagine messages with several attachments offering different translations. 
E.g. an enterprise bulletin board kind of usage scenario offering languages 
like Chinese, Hebrew, Arabic, German and English. Typical contents could be 
official global management announcments like corporate identity statements 
etc.

Because we already have mime attachments which can deal with this issue on the 
message level but we don't have a solution on the folder level sofar.

BTW: Does anyone know how the calendar folder is spelled in the chinese 
version of OL?
