Fix broken emails written in Chinese

[Guest guest]

I

came across this link tonight that can repair emails sent in Chinese which

render improperly in email.

http://www.mandarintools.com/email.html

It

worked great on the emails I have that were previously nothing but garbage.

Just paste

the corrupted text into the text field and press " Fix! " . If you do

not get back readable Chinese text, you can send a copy of the original e-mail

to erik and he will

work on adapting the program to handle it correctly.

Unfortunately,

e-mails where the Chinese characters have all been converted to question marks

are beyond fixing. Too much information is lost. Persons sending the e-mail

should make sure to set the e-mail encoding to a Chinese encoding such as GB or

Big5.

For ideas

on how to prevent e-mail from being corrupted in the first place, please visit

the tutorial on e-mail at www.ChineseComputing.com.
