Sure they are, it's just a different character set:

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-2022-JP
^^^^^^^^^^

If you don't like the font that *your machine* uses for that character
set, change it.

To paraphrase the author of that guideline...

Please use
(a) common sense
(b) the new list of guidelines

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/MailinglistGuidelines

See rule 8...

8. Use the common language

Unless you are a Fedora mailing list that is dedicated to users
speaking that particular language, communicate in English. Other
languages might be ignored merely because the users in these lists might
only know English or use it as their common language. Refer to
Communicate for more information on other mailing lists.
