I have found the culprit! It seems to be neither unicode or Shift-JIS but it is 'iso-2022-jp'. Now how would I get my messages sent in that? > Heh, don't be embarrassed (unless the friend is some sort of senpai and > made fun of you.) :) As has been said, don't try and lose a few > moments of embarrassment while gaining a lifetime of ignorance. :) > > However, if he's reading them on the cellphone, then gmail might be the > only resort. You got it right, he is my sempai. Though he doesn't make fun of me so much. I wonder if I'll be brave enough to send the message now. Too bad I don't have a KDDI phone to test it. The thing is, I'm the only one in my group of friends who uses Linux, and many people think that me using Linux is the cause of incompatibility problems. Maybe you won't understand, but I don't like to show screw ups like that. It gives Linux a bad name. > Thank you. It's always nice to hear such things.

I found your mutt page on a google search. The one in the Archwiki didn't seem to work for me but I got mutt working with the help from your page.
