Emacs 22.3 also does support UTF-8/Unicode.

Emacs Lisp in which Mew is written cannot cash Emacs. If it does, that
is because of a bug of Emacs.

CVS Emacs is quite unstable. For me, I cannot stand to use CVS Emacs
at this moment.

I guest to use Emacs 22.3 which again has native support of
UTF-8/Unicode.
