Sadly at the moment none, that's why I decided to use Mozilla Mailer
at work, as I get a lot of mail in Japanese (no wonder when you work
in Japan).

I couldn't get any other encoding work with XLAT tables, how much I
even tried. I can only view chinese with no problem ...

I just hope they support those encodings soon ...
