GMAIL IN CHINESE CAN'T BE VIEWED

[wkchan55]

I sent a mail from Gmail to my friend in Chinese but she could not view
it in her browser. Mail in Chinese sent out from Yahoo has no problem
being viewed in the receiver's browser. I wonder if anything can be
done about that, anyone?

Hey, wkchan55!
I'm just a Chinese and I always send email from Gmail in Chinese, and
it works well!
I think maybe there's sth wrong with the encode of your friend's
browser!

Why would I want to send my messages in UTF-8?
Each time you send a message, Gmail automatically selects an
appropriate encoding for the language(s) in which you've composed your
mail. It's possible, however, that the recipient may not be able to
properly view the message you've sent.
If your contacts are having trouble viewing messages you've sent them,
we recommend using 'UTF-8' (Unicode) for all outgoing mail. UTF-8 is a
standard encoding that's accepted by many email clients.

Messages in my language aren't displaying properly
Gmail encodes your mail based on your language settings -- if you
can't properly compose or receive messages in languages other than
English, we suggest adjusting your browser's encoding settings.
To adjust encoding settings in Internet Explorer, please follow these steps:

Click the 'View' menu at the top of your browser, and select 'Encoding.'
Select 'Unicode (UTF-8)' from the list of options.

you should use yahoo in order to fix your recent problem

Yea, Bill's right. You should face no problem using UTF-8 encoding. Tell your friends to use that too. If it still doesn't work, your friend just have to change the encoding to Chinese simplified, traditional or whatever languages he/she wanted...Takes just two seconds to change it...
