Pine always displayed most Japanese stuff okay.  Notable points of failure
were the From: and Subject: lines in index view, the terminal corruption
problem that you've discovered, and a lack of Japanese documentation[1].

I have no clue why input works properly.  I'd never tried kinput2 with
pine-j, choosing instead to use the canna support that pine-j added.  Not
that it did me much good ;)

The UW guys appear to be rabidly single-byte.  It's just luck, I think.

[1] Fully 40% of the 3.96 pine-j patch is Japanese docs (and makefiles for
    weird OS variants that I think exist only in Japan).  Interesting
    priorities.
