I think I have figured out the cause to the problem. It could be the
font problem.

When I tried to input Chinese in Emacs, the Chinese characters are shown
as square blocks. My question is how to install Chinese fonts for Emacs?
Thanks again!

It's not a Gnus problem but an Emacs one.

Like I said before, Oort Gnus allows you to hit `1 g' on the message
and then enter gb2312.  I use this feature fairly regularly.

Thanks, Eric. Unfortunately it does not work for me. :( All I see is
such numbers as \233\212. I don't know what it is. If I save this
message into file and open it in Mozilla, I can read it correctly
after forcing Mozilla to use GB2312 encoding to render the message.
Any idea? Thanks!
