Comparing the headers of email which are encoded iso-2022-jp and those 
encoded windows-1252, are they both from the same email program (user 
agent)? Are there other differences which indicate they come from a 
different program - a mobile, webmail, or something.

When viewed in html do the jp ones include any fancy glyphs - emoticons 
for example - which night have prompted the email program to switch to a multi-byte encoding? Do they include copy-pasted quotes from other 
sources which might include them?

Somewhere in the sending program there must be a predilection for 
Japanese that needs changing, perhaps to utf8.

You could probably stop TB from changing the font for this character 
set - I mentioned config settings in that other thread.
