Title:
  All emails with an encoding tag of gb2312 or gbk should be encoded in
  gb18030

Status in The Evolution Mail & Calendaring Tool:
  New
Status in “evolution” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: evolution

  gb18030 is a superset of gb2312 and gbk. Some emails with an encoding
  tag of gb2312 or gbk actually contain extra characters from gb18030
  charset. (For example, those emails written in Simplified Chinese from
  Gmail are all tagged with gb2312, but users are allowed to enter any
  characters in gb18030 charset, as soon as the OS supports it.) When
  those emails are encoded in gb2312 or gbk, fussy characters are shown.
  Thus all emails tagged with gb2312 or gbk should be encoded in
  gb18030. Ths is a compatibility enhancement feature which is already
  implemented in many email clients, including Mozilla Thunderbird.
  Without this, experienced users have to manually choose the proper
  encoding; average ones probably give up trying and use other email
  clients instead. Unfortunately, Evolution doesn't provide this feature
  yet.
