How can Mail of OS X Mountain Lion read Chinese Characters?

Mail cannot read Chinese characters. Message looks like a series of "??????". However, Safari can read Chinese characters. What setting can make Mail read Chinese Characters?

MacBook Pro (13-inch Early 2011), Mac OS X (10.7.4)

Normally that indicates an encoding glitch, where the email headers are not telling Mail the right encoding to use. The first thing to try is Message > Text Encoding and see if UTF-8 or one of the various Chinese encodings give the right display.


Also go to View > Message > Raw Source and tell us what you see in the headers that say "charset= ".
