With 10 years of experience, we know that, as ISO-2022-JP is used
universally in Japan, there are no points to label it.
Even if it were true that ISO-2022-JP were the only character set in
use everywhere in Japan, which I don't believe for a minute, Japan in
not the whole world.
I don't know about e-mail, but ISO-2022-JP is not used universally at least
for WWW. I've come across Web sites in Japan that use 2022, EUC, and Shift
JIS.
Japanese in e-mail is typically encoded in "JIS" which we MIME weenies call
ISO-2022-JP. Occasionally, you may see e-mail messages encoded in EUC or
Shift JIS but not often.
