I noticed, though, that by my composing the reply, somewhere the characters
were lost and replaced with literal "?".  Alain's was "$BB9(B" (_mago_, grand-
child), iirc, and Breen's was "(I9(B" (_ke_, half-width katakana).  (I see 
them
on the display between the double quotes as I write this, but probably they
will get filtered out.  I don't know if it will work, but I saved this
paragraph from nvi-m17n to a file, gzipped the file, and then attached it.)

That "strange charset handling" is automatic charset detection.  Pretty
much an absolute must here still, it seems.

Terminal emulator is PuTTY on WindowsXP.  Mutt runs in a shell account on
a NetBSD server.
