Well, your question made me investigate a bit more, and I discovered
that I am indeed able to see Japanese text... sometimes at least.
I copied text from Japanese Wikipedia, and it is copied correctly into
gnome-terminal. I can 'cat' emails in Japanese and I see them. I
alternate between locales ISO-8859-1 and EUC-JP, without problem. What I
*cannot* do is read these emails in mutt/jed (I use jed as the editor
for mutt). I see things like:
^[$B3'MM$+$i$NB??t$N%;%C%7%g%sDs0F$r$*BT$A$$$?$7$F$*$j$^$9!#^[(J
Reading the email as a usual file with jed also fails. I would say the
problem is jed. Except that when I read the folder list with mutt
subjects also come out wrong; or when I simply read the mail, and I
understand jed is not involved here.
So any ideas on how to fix mutt/jed? My problem seems to be
specifically to read mails in Japanese with mutt. I could change the
editor to xemacs, but 1) I'd prefer to stay with jed because it's
faster; 2) problems with reading mail and subject list would not be
solved by changing the editor.
