It was inadvertantly destroyed during a routine housekeeping operation, and its
disappearance was not noted until it was too late.

Probably.  Its use, however, is not recommended.

You'd probably be happier with a Japanized version of mutt.  The mutt
source, and the patch, can be found at:

ftp://ftp.tlug.gr.jp/pub/muttj

(yes, the version of mutt is rather old.  Someday, when I have more bandwidth,
I'll forward-port the patch to a less ancient version of mutt)

??? Mutt relies on external FEP, such as kinput2.  Don't dismiss mutt on
those grounds.

Further, jvim is icky.  Current versions of vim work just fine when used
in conjunction with kinput2.
