If you have a properly patched qt, then kmail works fine with Japanese.
With LASER5 this is done by default, I don't know about any other
distributions  but since the patches are publically available I don't
really care... (Me, I'd use mutt/pine, with Japanese I'd stick with
mutt..)

This was on Freshmeat today and might have some relevance:

Wrapper so that you can use Mutt/pine/whatever through Netscape...
