+ Summary: Japanese-language emails do not display correctly (IMP 2.3 & 3.0)
+ 
+ Likely related to http://bugs.horde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=92
+ MIT has a number of people who read/send/answer email in Japanese, and IMP is 
+ handling this strangely.  Client says "Often a sentence starts with normal words 
+ but with in the same line, changes to strange characters. Though they are 
+ Japanese characters, does not make sense at all. Looks like bytes are shifted. I 
+ used Netscape 4.7 and IE 5.1 on Mac under Mac OS X and I know both programme can 
+ handle Japanese without any problem (I am using them every day).   I do not why 
+ this software does not have support though it supports other other two-byte code 
+ such as Korean and Chinese. I hope it will support Japanese in future."
