Are you using a mozilla.org build or Debian/Suse package ?
(if yes : invalid)

Was the Chinese mail sent in gb2312 or other Chinese encodings? Could you attach
a testing mail to this report?
The mail has to be sent in Simplified Chinese character encodings if you want to
make the mail displayed ok after received.
To do this, on mail compose window, before the mail is sent out, select View |
Character Codings | Simplified Chinese (gb2312) or select other Chinese
encodings from View | Character Codings | Customize

Comments from Otto:
 It seams to be a problem with Linux system font Simsun, after re-installing the
font three times it now works, but the Chinese Auto detect does not seam to
detect the Chinese, and when manual selecting it can take up to  2 min to
display the Simplified Chinese ( GB2312 )
But now there seam to be a problem when inputting Chinese in Mozilla Mail
Composer when selecting the Chinese input, and starting to write it freezes for
about half a minute, and then everything is OK..

Sorry for the other, I now know it was a Linux front problem and not Mozilla..

Marked this bug as wfm. For the other issues, like auto detector and Chinese
input, please file as seperate bugs if you stil see them on the latest build.
Thanks.
