I guess so. 

I'm planning to fix this in Mew 1.95, which aims real
multi-lingualization. (I already have an idea.)

Please note that it is very easy to support ASCII and Latin 1
only. But it is very difficult to support many character set AT THE
SAME TIME.

Let me concentrate to wirte info of Mew 1.94 at this moment.
