The main problem is that mail is not everywhere 8bit clean and therefor you need an encoding for non ascii chars. And chinese uses 16bit chars which makes it even worse. When you use ldapmodify|ldapadd as I said earlier and use a file as source for the mailReplyText ldapadd|ldapmodify will base64-encode the file. It is true that you have to base64 mailReplyText that have a newline char in them.
