Daryl, It's actually in UTF-8 encoding. Somehow I missed the charset part of the mime type in the original headers: Delivered-To: nanog-outgoing@merit.edu Received: by segue.merit.edu (Postfix, from userid 56) id B1B485FA2B; Wed, 9 May 2001 11:37:14 -0400 (EDT) Received: from exchange.olympus.ctv.com (unknown [192.102.244.27]) by segue.merit.edu (Postfix) with ESMTP id ABCA45FC81 for <nanog@merit.edu>; Wed, 9 May 2001 11:26:29 -0400 (EDT) content-class: urn:content-classes:message MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Subject: Abuse notification in Chinese (was:black hat .cn networks) X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft Exchange V6.0.4418.65 Date: Wed, 9 May 2001 11:21:56 -0400 Message-ID: <7F9129AC1C69A148AB8AC2A418AD58E70C4F11@exchange.olympus.ctv.com> X-MS-Has-Attach: X-MS-TNEF-Correlator: Thread-Topic: Abuse notification in Chinese (was:black hat .cn networks) Thread-Index: AcDX10McqQaO/ybXTr2Ra8HWoTp+rQAxCfJw From: "Daryl G. Jurbala" <DJurbala@Antiphony.com> To: <nanog@merit.edu> Sender: owner-nanog@merit.edu When I render it as UTF-8, the text is composed of valid simplified chinese characters. It may be that your mailer (exchange V6, apparently) is converting it to UTF-8 from whatever encoding you are composing in. As you no doubt know, GB2312 will be most widely understood as an encoding in Mainland China, so disabling that conversion will probably a good idea. regards, Ted Hardie
GB2312 is working on my system (not on your quoted text, but on the original as it came back to me posted to the list). I know nearly nothing about encoding, so I check with the translator and she confirmed that it was done in that.
If that's not working for everyone, somebody give me a better idea of how to post it. Daryl

Daryl, I don't see these as valid hanzi when viewed as GB2312, BIG5, or EUC-TW, the three most common encodings I'm aware of (mainland, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, respectively). Can you indicate what encoding these are in? regards, Ted Hardie
For what it's worth, here are two pretty generic messages that you can send, translated into Chinese (In Chinese Simplified -HZ encoding).
