I tried Evolution (1.0.5-1) on my system, sid i386. It can
display Japanese characters even if LC_ALL=C.
However, if I remove /usr/lib/locale/ja_JP.eucjp, then Japanese
characters are not displayed. (/usr/lib/locale/ja_JP.eucjp is
created by `dpkg-reconfigure locales' or `locale-gen'.)
It seems that the locale data relates to Evolution.

I tried to input Japanese characters via XIM with skkinput on
ja_JP.eucJP environment.
Unfortunately, when I input Japanese characters, Evolution often
has hang-up... Also, Subject field is encoded with UTF-8 even if
I set `Default character encoding' to `Japanese (ISO-2022-JP)'.
So I can't recommend Evolution to Japanese users.
I tried KMail (2.2.2-14), but I can't see and input Japanese characters.
Sylpheed (0.7.7-1) seems OK. Mozilla Mail & News
(mozilla-mailnews 1.0.0-1) also.
Emacsen mailer, Mew (2.2-4) and Wanderlust (wl 2.8.1-5) do work well
even if XIM is not available.
