Thanks for that! I was thinking I'd be able to send things with no
problems to Japanese acquaintances with UTF-8. I've just changed the

web pages as UTF-8 (and fix old ones as I find the time).

Another test - is this readable this time?:

Thanks very much for the feedback - some of my friends just clam up when
they get a moji-bake e-mail and so it's not always easy getting feedback.
