You must run Outlook in Unicode mode in order to fully support multibyte
characters such as Chinese. If your Inbox is located in a PST file, then
using a 2003-type (Unicode) PST file is all that is needed. If it is
located on an Exchange Server, see this article for more information

When writing Chinese email messages, you also *must* set the encoding of
the message to the appropriate Chinese encoding: Format -> Encoding ->
