Yes, I agree with this completely.  I made just a several line
changes for reading ISO-2022-JP encoded mail.

I forgot to write something when I replied to Charles's mail,
and please forgive me to add things here.

I've never received UTF-8 encoded mails from Japanese
except of myself.  This is probably from culture thing.
 From the early stage of computer developping in the world,
Japanese uses JIS (=ISO-2002-JP) or Shift JIS encoded Japanese
text, and we have too many documents writeen in JIS code.
Someone can call this Japanese culture, I think.  I agree that
Unicode is more beatiful for internal expression of OS, however,
I feel that no one can force to change this Japanese culture
in computer science.

I hope thi may help someone other than Japanese.
