dickchan,
Also, in Outlook options under Encoding, make sure Chinese is selected.

Does the problem occur with one user or all users?
you can do a quick test yourself:
-----------
1) login to any one of the free webmail, like gmail, hotmail, or yahoo;
2) send a test email with chinese subject and body to your outlook;
3) check the test email in your outlook to see whether you can see the subject in your inbox;
-----------
if it's only one user, probably the encoding settings is messed up in his email client.
if it's for all users, then i would suggest that make sure the correct language is selected for your Outlook and language pack for Windows is installed.
hope it helps.
