A serious bug has been found in libtcs for outputting JIS(iso-2022-jp)
encoded text when using with MIME mail.  In the original program
in jisjis_ou() function of conv_jis.c, a controle charcter set of
"ESC(H" will be sent to indicate the end of JIS coded string.
This doesn't work for MIME encoding, and this controle string 
should be replaced by "ESC(B".  I don't know why...

I put this new version on the same url of our secret Web page.

PS. This mail is also passing the conversion filter from utf to
jis.  Then, you are reading JIS encoded English-like text.  :-)
