Version 4.1.x and up indeed have a problem with foreign character
sets. Maybe you can add to https://www.ritlabs.com/bt/view.php?id=7654
The bug report title is about Thai mails, but it could well be true
for all non-Latin and non-Cyrillic character sets, as you have just
encountered it with Chinese. Maybe only for DBCS? Korean or Japanese,
anyone?

How about Greek? Displaying correctly?

For me, only mails in Windows-874 or TIS-620 are affected, utf-8 mails
seem to display fine. In addition, the subject lines are always
rendered correctly.

I am cross-posting this to TBBETA, so that it catches the developers'
eyes. The bug has not even been assigned, and meanwhile, TB! - an
international email program - is not displaying mails written in Thai
and apparently other languages. In other words, it doesn't fulfill
it's primary objective (message delaying and other gimmicks are nice
but not primary), and this has been known for a few days already.

Cheers,
Thomas.
