What charset are you sending out on your "Content-type:" headers? Even
Whinedoze software should respond correctly if your headers are correct.

Well the "everyone else" is incorrect. The actual standard for emailed
Japanese is still ISO-2022-JP. If you need to have your email read by
brain-damaged Windblows mail clients, it may be useful advice. Just
don't send me Shit_JIS-laden email, as I adopt a  trash-before-read 
policy towards such things.
