I am using OE, set to UTF-8. If I mail Chinese to myself, all is
well.

Odd. Perhaps our post office is changing things.

Perhaps, like me, they sent messages in UTF-8 and had them converted
to Windows-874 without consent. :-(

I also received it as UTF-8.

I think you'll find that Peter's response applies to you too: the mailer is
seeing Windows-874 on the incoming message and converting your outgoing
message to use that same encoding (in a bid to be compatible with the
original message). Outlook has done that for awhile. If you manually set the
encoding for the reply you can override that behavior. In Outlook 2000 this
is "Format | Encoding"....

Mine already says UTF-8. Test again: 你好吗？
