Subject: [OT] Inconsistence between emacs gnus and mozilla with chinese characters [Was: From a newbie: Mule-UCS installation and configuration]


Excuse if I'm posting a subject that is not properly concerning
mule-ucs problems: I couldn't get a solution from anywhere up to now.
Maybe someone from this ML might provide help.

I want to use gnus as my mail agent and mozilla as web browser.
I did experiments and noticed that the two are apparently
inconsistent as concerned with chinese characters. I.e.:

1) I can properly send and receive mails
   (containing chinese characters input via scim) using emacs gnus;
2) I can properly input and read chinese characters
   in mozilla navigator once I've selected
   View > Character Encoding > Unicode (UTF-8);

but:

1) if I compose and send to myself an e-mail via mozilla navigator
   and collect it with gnus I can't read chinese characters;


Send mail via mozilla navigator? you mean send mail via some webmail?

2) vice versa, if I compose and send an e-mail via gnus
and try to read it within Internet with mozilla navigator
I can't read chinese characters.
Any idea about this problem?
The same happens if I select *any* other chinese encoding system featured by
mozilla navigator.
Besides,

1) if I compose and send to myself an e-mail via mozilla navigator
and collect it with MicroSoft Outlook I can't read chinese characters;
2) if I compose and send an e-mail via gnus
and try to read it with MS Outlook I *can* properly
read chinese characters.

Can you provide the locale setting you are using?
It seemed that both gnus and mozilla mail & news send your mail with wrong charactor encoding(iso8859-1). But gnus do it in 8bit mode(information loseless), mozilla do it in 7bit mode(with information losing).

I downloaded and freshly installed the latest release of mozilla navigator,
but the problem remains.
Any suggestion about how to repair the mozilla broken charset support?

Set a default send encoding method & charset if you always send Chinese mail. Or, you should chose a right encoding method & charset after compose/reply a new message and just *before* type in any string..
