Default unreadable emails in outlook 2003

I paste 2 samples below:
It only happens to some of my incoming emails which I rec fm China contacts
but other emails fm China are okay. I have random question marks instead of
new
line feed and space in between becomes random characters, some characters
also change to unreadable.
I have UTF-8 Enabled and now using rich text, but same happens with HTML.


Question marks appear frequently and then the unreadable characters:

Please define "unreadable." What shows in your mail message? Nothing?
Random characters?

What character set do you have set for your encoding? What happens if you
change it to something else?

I run XP and Outlook 2003 and I have this problem too.
It only started about 6 months ago but before then, everything was fine.

This problem occurs even when I am the only recipient of the email which
was sent us To: and not Bcc I asked the sender)

Outlook receives my emails from 3 accounts/sources: Gmail, Hotmail and my
email address with my ISP.
The emails are perfectly legible if I were to read them directly in gmail
or hotmail etc. If I resend the legible emails from say hotmail to gmail
or vice versa, I get mixed/random results ie some emails are garbled again
but some come through normal!

I haven't got a clue why this happens but it is very frustrating.
