There are '\'s in ISO-2022-JP (and in Shift_JIS, also) and that
will make headake when you want to match or search within text.

Things are not easy and I am rather decided to teach Japanese users 
to use 'standard' coding.

* Use ISO-2022-JP in mail messages
* Not Shift_JIS, nor EUC-JP
* No HTML or attachments
* Hankaku is worst of all,  
	because it cannot be automatically distinguished
