[news.admin] posting in Japanese

feldmark@hanako.stars.flab.Fujitsu.JUNET (09/20/88)

Some people here in Japan and in soc.culture.japan are contemplating 
trying to do some posting in Japanese. (Stuff that will come up on a 
special display as real Japanese, not just alphanumerics.) Inside 
Japan, I believe it is done using the JIS code.  I am told that this 
is a seven bit code where sequences of Japanese text are escaped 
before and afterward.  I am wondering if anyone out there could tell 
me if there are any technical difficulties in doing this.  Someone on 
the fj (from japan) net has said that some mail software along the way 
may strip the escape codes.  Is this true? 

Thanks a lot.
