Hi, utf-8 listers.

No help came up to now from SCIM mailing list
to work my problem out. Maybe you could have any suggestion?

In my `Linux Mandrake 10.1 Community' system I have
Emacs CVS 21.3.50. In my .emacs I put the lines

(set-language-environment 'chinese-big5)
(utf-translate-cjk-load-tables)
(set-language-environment 'utf-8)

, start emacs with '$ LC_CTYPE=zh_CN.UTF-8 emacs'
and can input with SCIM both Simplified
and Traditional Chinese together with Italian characters
(with the accented vocals �, �, �, etc.).

Now, 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'. I.e.:

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

but:

1) if I compose and send to myself an e-mail via web browser mozilla
   and collect it with gnus I can't read chinese characters;
2) vice versa, if I compose and send an e-mail via gnus
   and try to read it within Internet with web browser mozilla 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. Besides,

1) if I compose and send to myself an e-mail via web browser mozilla
   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.

So, the following interactions work fine:
gnus -> gnus; web browser mozilla -> web browser mozilla; gnus -> MS Outlook,
whereas the following do not properly work:
gnus -> web browser mozilla; web browser mozilla -> gnus; web browser mozilla ->
MS Outlook.
But I'm not interested in using MS Outlook, I just did a trial with it.
I'm interested in using gnus and web browser mozilla, or, in place of mozilla,
some linux web browser that `agrees' with gnus in displaying chinese characters
input via scim.
Can you provide help about this matter?
Is the inconsistence normal or there's a way to work it out, and how?

Any hint will be highly appreciated,
thanks in advance,
Rodolfo
