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.
