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?
