I really like IMAP back when I didn't have a direct connection.  Gnus
is supposed to have IMAP support real soon (if it doesn already).

Your message header says: 
   "Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII"
it should be Content-Type: 
  "TEXT/PLAIN; charset=ISO-2022-JP" 
otherwise, a proper MIME mailreader (like Gnus/tm) will render it as
ISO-latin1.

I use the EGG input environment on XEmacs 20.  It is written in elisp
and talks directly to jserver. (You have to link XEmacs with libwnn.a
when you build it.)
