Thanks for letting me know of Carlos bug report. Let me Cc: to that too. >> Several days ago, I sent an e-mail to debian-chinese-gb using the >> GB18030 encoding, which is now the national standard replacing GB2312. >> I just noticed that the lists.debian.org web-based interface does not >> yet decode GB18030 properly: >> http://lists.debian.org/debian-chinese-gb/2008/03/msg00086.html > > Thanks for pointing at the message, that is of great use.

I just did a "apt-get source mhonarc" and noticed that MHonArc currently recognizes gb2312 and gbk, but "grep -r" shows no result of gb18030. Quick fix: Since GB18030 is a strict superset of GBK (a.k.a. CP936), making gb18030 an alias of cp936, perhaps modifying def-mime.mrc: cp936; gbk cp936; ms936 cp936; windows-936 + cp936; gb18030 cp949: euc-kr cp949: ks_c_5601-1987 cp949: ks_c_5601-1989 or mhopt.pl would do the trick? :-) While it is not perfect, it should be fine with 99.9% of all GB18030 mail out there. The long-term solution is to extend CP936.pm to create a GB18030.pm. James Su (SCIM author) and I worked on that several years ago, e.g. the text codec in Qt. Maybe eventually I'll make one for MHonArc too. Haha, I'd better not make promises yet as I'm still kind of MIA. :-) So, until GB18030.pm is available, an alias to CP936 would do.
