Some mail messages can not recognized by Emacs with following
attributes combined:
Content-Type: text/html
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
Charset: gb2312
Chinese charactars in this kinda message dont display properly. If the
"Content-Transfer-Encoding" set to Base64, the problem dispeared.
Is there any workaround here?

Is the body of the message quoted-printable or base64 encoded?

Perhaps Article -> MIME -> Base64 works.

Can you forward the entire message (preferably as a gzip'ed single
message file to avoid triggering encoding bugs again)? It seems weird
that it works better if Gnus is instructed to base64 decode non-base64
encoded data.
Hm. What does "don't display properly" mean more specifically? What
is displayed?

`W 6', or gnus-article-de-base64-unreadable. I think you can press
F10 to access the menu even on tty's.
Are you sure emacs can display chinese in gb2312 on the tty?

I think when Steven said "if the CTE is set to base64" he meant that
the message is also encoded in base64. I think he wanted to say that
Gnus groks base64-encoded messages, but not qp-encoded messages.
Correct me if I'm wrong, Steven.

Yes, that's exactly what mean yesterday. But, today ... I found even
base64-encoded html msg dont get a correct display :( I'v uninstall
and reinstall all of those relative packages, and cant return back to the time
when I thought base64-encoded msg was okay!
I'v already posted a message on the group to describe my the current
problem in more detail. Please check that, thank you!
