When you export to unix mailbox format, the messages are exported according to your settings in the "character sets" preference pane (whatever charset they where originally using). The problem is that all 8 bit character sets are encoded with base64, so they are not viewable in a text editor. I think the only 7 bit encodings available for simplified chinese are ISO-2022-CN and UTF7, unfortunately it seems that TextEdit can read files using these charsets... However, you can use a third party text converter application to convert iso-2022-CN or UTF7 to a charset that TextEdit will handle. Cyclone <http://free.abracode.com/cyclone/> will do the job.
