I go to websites that use a lot of Japanese characters (kanji) and some Korean (Hangul/Hanja). it's the same on other websites as well.

Since upgrading to Firefox 10, I had trouble viewing Chinese characters in Horde email. I have tried the following but it still doesn't display the text correctly.

1) Installed East Asian language support on my Windows XP

2) Tried different character encodings like UTF-8, UTF-16, on Firefox

Observations

a) The error message I see on Horde email is "This message was written in a character set (gbk) other than your own."

b) All the Chinese characters are displayed as the question mark character ("?")

Viewing of Chinese text in Firefox 9 is perfectly fine as I have verified this by downgrading Firefox.
