Amen...  We're still working on this too.

I've been using webmail because I can get to my account from work but it 
gets very complicated making sure you actually send in the font encoding 
you want to.  I've gotten into the habit of copying myself when I send a 
file with Kanji just to make sure things work, and even then, I need to 
make sure the browser is in the right encoding before deciding I 
goofed.  Why -- just this morning I thought I goofed, but didn't :)

Baby steps...
