That's almost surely me.  The composer part of my MUA of choice
handles Japanese fine, but doesn't like general Unicode much.  So I've
switched to a different composer, but the two MUAs differ on the
protocol for passing reply information from the reader to the
composer.  RFC 2047 headers are one thing that often gets fumbled.
