No, it's not relevant.  A quick recap for anyone coming in on the end of
the thread.  The question was originally posed on the ArchLinux mailing
list.  I told the fellow who posted that I would ask about it on tlug.

He can read messages sent him by cell.  (That's how he figured out that
his senpai was using ISO-2022-JP.  Unfortunately, Arch doesn't have
ISO-2022-JP charset or locale, so his senpai can't read his UTF-8
emails.  

I've been posting from the list either from console or in mlterm with no
LC_CTYPE.  My headers aren't relevant to the issue.

Meanwhile, I've posted back to the ArchLinux list that apparently, newer
KDDI phones can read UTF-8.  The problem isn't that the ArchLinux user
can't read what he's sent--others can't read what he sends them in
UTF-8. 

His workaround, at present, is to use gmail.
