Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: evolution
gb18030 is a superset of gb2312 and gbk. Some emails with an encoding
tag of gb2312 or gbk actually contain extra characters from gb18030
charset. (For example, those emails written in Simplified Chinese from
Gmail are all tagged with gb2312, but users are allowed to enter any
characters in gb18030 charset, as soon as the OS supports it.) When
those emails are encoded in gb2312 or gbk, fussy characters are shown.
Thus all emails tagged with gb2312 or gbk should be encoded in gb18030.
Ths is a compatibility enhancement feature which is already implemented
in many email clients, including Mozilla Thunderbird. Without this,
experienced users have to manually choose the proper encoding; average
ones probably give up trying and use other email clients instead.
Unfortunately, Evolution doesn't provide this feature yet.
