Tell the recipient his or her mail client is broken. I don't have a table for the character set ``zh_cn.gb2312'', but it seems correct. For a full explanation of the short form below pleace look at RfC 2047 (and read it, of course). Any 8bit character within any header field has to be encoded down to 7bit. To correctly decode it the character set is required, too (since ascii is the default for headers). The correct form is: =?C?E?T?= =? ... beginning of encoded word C ... character set ? ... delimiter E ... encoding (B for Base64, Q for quoted-printable) ? ... delimiter T ... Text encoded with E ?= ... the end bye, Rocco
