Nope; mojibake, and should be.  Coding system conflicts with
Content-type header.

Either tell Pine you're defaulting to 8-bit EUC (maybe
"charset=ISO-2022-8" or "charset=x-euc-jp" will do, although the
latter is non-standard) in Pine's setup menu (look for something set
to `iso-2022-jp'), or preferably, get your IM to produce ISO-2022-JP.

Of course, you could change your MUA to something a little smarter,
either JPine (never saw it, but it must exist, ne) or preferably
something Mule-based.  (Of course, AFAIK none of the Mule MUAs know
about IMAP yet; it's up to you....)

However, Pine is hosed in this respect; if you set that default,
everything Pine sends out will have that charset attached to it.  I
doubt JPine or JElm are any smarter about getting multilingual stuff
right, they just make sure that everything goes out in ISO-2022-JP.
Next TLUG meeting is Saturday Dec. 13, 1997  (possibly Nov. 13?)
