Please help a poor gaijin!



Hi! I'm trying to figure out what level of Japanese input support exists
in Debian. Ideally, I'd like to be able to receive messages written in
Unicode with mutt (via the mutt-ja package), and type messages/documents
in kana/kanji with vim and have them stored as Unicode. Being able to print
Japanese text would also be really nice. I'm a bit overwhelmed by how
all of the packages work together. Do I need kinput2, canna, mutt-ja,
and jvim-canna? Will I need some type of kana/kanji dictionary? Do I
need to 'enable' kinput somehow, perhaps by editing my XF86Config?

The English documentation is a little confusing and my Japanese fluency 
isn't enough to begin to try and understand the stuff written in
Japanese. Thanks to any and all who can shed light on this for me.
