What do you mean with "the emacs responses xxxx=."?  BTW, which
emacs version are you using?  (C-u M-x emacs-version)

When i save a message from you and visit it in GNU Emacs 21.4 with

C-x RET c emacs-mule RET C-x C-f

and do C-u C-x = on one of the Chinese characters i get

  character: 日 (0451713, 152523, 0x253cb)
    charset: chinese-big5-1
             (Frequently used part (A141-C67F) of Big5 (Chinese traditional))
 code point: 39 75
     syntax: word
   category: C:Chinese (Han) characters of 2-byte character sets
             c:Chinese
             |:While filling, we can break a line at this character.
buffer code: 0x98 0xA7 0xCB
  file code: 0x98 0xA7 0xCB (encoded by coding system emacs-mule-unix)
       font: -ETen-Fixed-Medium-R-Normal--16-150-75-75-C-160-Big5.ETen-0

So i think you should add an entry for "chinese-big5-1" in your
fontset.  Make sure the font exists and has the right encoding (in
this case Big5.ETen-0).  The program xfontsel can help to pick a
good font.
