Since the encoding is stored in the mail, they should still be able to correctly render your outgoing UTF-8 mails, and Mail should also be able to correctly render the incoming ISO-2022-JP replies. The only problem are mailer that don't support UTF-8, and those that don't correctly store the encoding in the mail. Bye, Axel.
