As you predicted, the gibberish does not have a Mime-Version header.
Readable mail has lines like this:

MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-2022-JP
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
X-Mailer: Becky! ver 1.25.06

There are no such lines in the unreadable mail.

I know that I can't get my correspondents to change their MUAs.  How
can I make gnus recognize the Japanese anyway?  It is readable as
Japanese straight from the disk, so there must be a way!

Dave
