SSH session + Japanese mail in mutt

[Noah John Gellner]

I would be extremely grateful if anyone can help me. I want to read and 
write Japanese mail in an ssh session, preferably using mutt. I will be 
sshing in from a windows box and thus will be using windows IME for 
Japanese input. 

A second best solution would be to only be able to read Japanese mail. 
Currently when I get Japanese mail it is garbled. I stays garbled when I 
forward it to yahoo webmail where I can read Japanese mail.

I am running Gentoo linux as a headless server. The computer serves files and hosts a simple 
web site and a personal mail system. I fetchmail, and deposit into my 
mailboxes using procmail. I use both bogofilter and spamassassin to 
filter junk. I set up webmail using Squirrelmail. I use Courier imap 
with ssl.

I haven't set up locales because I don't completely understand how to. I 
am also not sure if they will work over ssh.

I use putty for ssh.

I am flexible about changing anything if it will solve my problem.

Thank you all again.
