However, I can show you a dirty workaround.
The following patch will set MSB of Japanese characters, and strip
ESC$B & ESC(B. This is called EUC-JP character encoding. In this way,
Japanese characters will not affect wilma.
Is your patch acceptable enough to include in the base source and it is
activated by an option to the filter? For example, something like the
following,
<mimeargs>
text/plain: euc-jp
</mimeargs>
will cause the text/plain filter to use EUC-JP character encoding when
converting iso-2022-jp text.
