Do you get messages in html format? If so what is your html viewer and your
setting in mailcap?

This is a good point. I know for sure that konsole in which I am using mutt
supports Chinese very well. As I can read Chinese in konsole quite
painlessly.

At this stage I think I have solved terminal/w3m issue. That is by adding -I
encoding (in my case gb2312) to force w3m render document in gb2312 format.
What still racks me is: If charset is not set either in Subject or in Body
of the message, and even worse, Content-Type is not set, I just got this kind
of display again:
===============
To: phyrster@xxxxxxxxx
Subject: monamant@xxxxxxxxxxx\265\304\327Զ\257\273\330\320\305
\304\343\272ã\254
===============
Temporarily, w3m problem is solved by forcing message be
rendered in gb2312 mode.
What really want to know is that when dealing with NON-html messages, how to
force mutt to display Subject, Body in charset I set?
