I start by looking in RFC 2821 section 4.1.2. (then looking up "atext" in RFC 2822 section 3.2.4, looking up "ALPHA" in RFC 2234 section 6.1), and I have some doubt that Japanese characters can be used in email addresses, though I have not followed all the leads or checked for the most recent specifications. Also of interest may be RFC 2396, section 2.1 "URI and non-ASCII characters".
You can find the RFCs here <http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc-index.html>.

In some Java server side code, we are formulating the contents of a web page. In that page, the user has chosen to display the content in a non-US language (in my case in particular, in Japanese). We formulate one of the links as a "mailto:?body=somestring"; where in this case, somestring is a string of japanese characters. This renders in outlook, and eudora, as garbage characters. I know that outlook/eudora can contain those characters, because I can copy/paste those same characters to the mail window and they appear fine.
Does anyone have a suggestion on how to work around this?
