Way OT: Sending Japanese email to keitai denwa

[s-luppescu@example.com]

Sorry for the OT post, but perhaps someone will have interest and ability to
help.

My wife has been trying to send Japanese email to her neice's keitai, but it
doesn't get rendered as Japanese characters, but just as `$' and other ascii
characters. She is using Outlook in US Win2k (<-- thus the OT nature of this
message) with the Japanese IME. However, when I send her neice email using
Sylpheed, she can read it fine. 

From the headers, it looks like there is no difference. Here are part of the
headers from my message in Sylpheed:

Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-2022-JP
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Here is the section from the headers from Outlook on Win2k:

MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain;
        charset="iso-2022-jp"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Are these equivalent, or what? Does anyone have any idea why one should be ok
and the other not? FWIW, my neice-in-law doesn't use an i-mode phone -- her
email address is nnn@example.com

Thanks.
