Doh! bilingual should have been the obvious search term - why didn't I
think of that!

Thanks to all (particularly Travis and Osamu) I have part of the
solution. I am using kinput2+canna in vim. Tried kterm and uxterm, but
actually preferred mlterm and it is working well. I'd love to get it
working with Eterm, but no luck so far.
Next stage is mutt. At the moment I can write japanese emails, since I
use vim as my editor, but I don't know if I am sending them correctly,
and I can't read the japanese in the emails I send. It comes up as
escape sequences thus: \272\243\306\374\244\317. I assume I need to work
with the settings charset, send_charset and maybe allow_8bit? Setting
charset to eucJP didn't seem to help. I believe I can have a list of
charsets in send_charset. What do people recommend?
I installed a backported mutt version 1.5.4 on my woody mail server as I
read somewhere that multilingual support is only in version 1.4 and
higher. Is that correct? Or do I need to install the backported
mutt-utf8 as someone else told me, and change to a different encoding?
For those who read Japanese (if it works):

Thanks for the help so far. I will be documenting myy set-up once it's
there for anyone interested. I'll let you know the URL when it's done.
