Your attachment is a well formed ISO-2022-JP mail, I could view it
correctly in Mutt (and other mailers) in an UTF-8 terminal and an
fr_FR.utf-8@euro locale.
Marco is right, you can't see the Japanese characters in an
it_IT@euro locale probably using Latin-9 charset. Nor without locale.
Everything becomes garbled as the 7 chars "?$B4c:," instead of "眼根"
(two chars U+773C and U+6839). Of course terminal's charset and locale's
charset must match.
Please describe exactly what means "unable to print"? What other
locales have you tried? The other machine you tried had what settings?
Can we close the bug?
Bye! Alain.
