I have only limited experience with emailing Japanese folks, mostly at work where the software works pretty well as-is. I've not tried outside of that much. :-/ Hi Robert,

I wasn’t aware that ISO1022 was still in use, but that’s good to know. I have only limited experience with emailing Japanese folks, mostly at work where the software works pretty well as-is. I’ve not tried outside of that much. :-/

Using UTF8 I constantly hit the problem of mojibake (nonsense characters). Unfortunately there are a couple of characters I tend to use that aren't in the 2022 set, but at least it seems that any UTF-8 programs are backward compatible and can read ISO2022 encodings.
