Hi, When I send mail to others in Chinese by using PINE, people
can not read these mails unless they use pine. I can receive 
Chinese mail without any problems even sender uses different 
mailing software. How can I solve this problem ?

Your problem is probably that Pine MIME encodes _attachments_, if I 
understand correctly.  See possible replies to my post about that a 
little further down, as I am having the same trouble sending Russian 
e-mail, as the Russian Koi-8 character set uses 8th bit ASCII, and I am 
willing to put good money on Chinese being the same way.

Peace,
Lee Latham

I had traced the source code of pine , and found that
	pine will encode & decode chinese characters to 
	"Quoted-Printable" characters . So your receptor can't
	read the chinese message unless using decoded e-mail 
	tool (such as pine).
	Therefore , I modified the encode & decode parts of
	pine3.91 source code for this problem by remarking it's
	function and created encode & decode function by another 
	keystroke .
