Oops.  I stand corrected (after a good night's rest AND a cuppa' since
my last post).

I thought the error messages above were appearing on the remote end, but
if they're found inside the body of the message then the problem is most
definitely at your end, not his (mucking with the *body* of a mail
message you've received ranks pretty darn close to original sin).

Kterm is simply a kanji-capable version of xterm.  Prof. Turnbull is
far, far, far more capable than I of explaining the character set issues.
I hope that eventually there will no longer be a need for a separate
kterm.  Xterm should pick up on the locale and do the right thing (I
believe there are kanji-capable xterms as well, but I'm not sure).
