Chinese M$ outlook users tend to use gb2312 when they send emails.but
they mixed simplified chinese characters and traditional chinese and
also other characters beyond the scope of gb2312 in mail's header and
body which are in fact GBK.below is a sample mail header,it can import into
evolution:
-----sample mail header start-----------

-----sample mail header end-----------
evolution fails to decode the mime headers because the characters are beyond
the scope of charset gb2312.it just shows the orignial header like
=?gb2312?B?xOOCgw==?=
which is somewhat annoying.And characters beyond gb2312 charset in the
mail body also not shows correctly.the alike problem also occurs in
firefox 1.x and latest epiphany-broswer(which has a workaround),but
solved in firefox 2.x.
since gb18030 is a superset of gbk and gb2312,always to decode mail
using gb18030 is more error-tolerable and user-friendly.
here is a patch I made to file
evolution-data-server-1.12.0/libedataserver/e-iconv.c
I have succesfully builded it using dpkg-build
