That didn't seem to work, the machine just hung.   (Also, I had to laugh
when Stephen wrote "misunderstanding."  In the sense of "lack of
understanding" it's certainly correct.  Locales have always been a bit
of a black box for me.  I understand how to make them do what I want in
general, but I don't really grok their internals.  

At any rate, thanks to Stephen and Edward, I can give the fellow at Arch
a solution.  The send_charset parameter, when put into .muttrc worked
for me.  Sending test emails and looking at them with mutt's edit option
shows that they are in iso-2022-jp.

I want to thank everyone for their assistance in this thread.  

It's times like this when sees the community at its best.

Yup, that was there. 


Thank you again, everyone.
