Comment 2 Jeremy Katz 2002-11-22 17:20:05 UTC 
Quite possibly due to the font you have chosen for display not having gb2312
coverage.  You might want to try choosing different fonts in the gtkhtml font
configuration to see if that helps.

Is this any better with Phoebe?
Comment 4 phostetl 2003-04-09 15:10:23 UTC 
No change with Red Hat 9 (release).  I can even log in with the environment set
to Simplified Chinese and no luck.

The Simplified Chinese messages do display properly in the Mozilla 1.3 mail client.

evolution 1.4 handles this much better since it uses gtk2 and pango
