This should be `iso-2022-jp' as the message contains iso-2022-jp
encoded characters.  Automagically figuring out the charset is one
area that tm is very strong at, so there's probably some code there
to be reused.

The way I composed this message was to add `text/plain' tags around
the line containing Japanese and tm autodetected what charsets to put
in the MIME headers.

Hmm.  The three Japanese glyphs spell `nihongo', Japanese for `Japanese'.
The garbled one is the same, bracketed by square brackets.  Cutting
and pasting the text into Emacs 20.3 works.

Off to try 0.6 ...
