mailx: Unable to send Japanese

Hi All,

I am facing problem in sending Japanese characters using mailx command in GNU linux machine.

The mail is going with junk characters like "メール��-界�よ���".

I tried changing the LANG value to japan locale off UTF-8. But it doesn't worked. I have to send the data as body not as an attachment. Subject also will be in Japanese.

Could some one please help on this.

Thanks,
Karteek
