Hi Horacio,

consider opening an issue at
https://github.com/sup-heliotrope/sup/issues to make sure this doesn't
disappear. Some changes will probably be made to the indexer when going
to Mail (from RMail), but I hope to be able to migrate the existing
index. Perhaps its time to get it right for arbitrary languages as well.
I am unfamiliar with Japanes/Chinese - does UTF-8 cover the needs?

Mail is better at handling UTF-8 and I think there was some fork that
had some extra support for Japanese.

Regards, Gaute
