How to get xemacs21 to display japanese characters in gnus

[Pontus Lidman <pontus@lysator.liu.se>]

Hello,

I'm trying to use gnus to read posts written in japanese. Unfortunately it
refuses to show the posts using japanese characters by default.

I have these settings:

gnus-show-mime t
gnus-strict-mime nil
gnus-show-mime-method 'metamail-buffer

Some conversion is done, because a lot of quoted-printable stuff is not
shown, but a warning is shown saying [*** ISO-2022-JP charset ***].
However if I jump to the article buffer and do M-x metamail-buffer
manually, the article is converted and the japanese characters are shown
correctly.

How do I get gnus to show the correct character set automatically? 

Please reply directly to me as well if you have an answer, since this list
has such high traffic.

Regards,

Pontus
