Dave,

I am not  sure, but may be you  stuck into the same problem  as I did,
for a possible solution, please  see my previous posting to this list.

The point  is that  with rev. 23  emacs changed its  internal encoding
from mule to unicode, so the emacs version upgrade with the current wl
release is a bit bumpy, and needs  to invoke a CVS version of wl and a
patch as far as unicode is concerned.

I  can send  and receive  unicode encoded  messages  without problems
(Meanwhile I am using the vanilla version of Emacs 23 on OpenSUSE 11.2)
Some people  here (mainly Vitaly Mayatskikh) already  have their hands
on that issue, so in a new release it could be resolved.


Another possible point: I looked at your header:

Wanderlust/2.15.7 (Almost Unreal) 
SEMI/1.14.6 (Maruoka)
FLIM/1.14.9 (Gojō) 
APEL/10.7 Emacs/23.1 
(i386-apple-darwin9.8.0) <--- LOL
MULE/6.0 (HANACHIRUSATO) <--- makes me wonder...

... because mule should be obsolete in emacs 23 due to the change of the
internal encoding. May be there is some obsolete code in your .emacs ? 

Best regards
Jürgen



And for a quick check: do you see umlauts and unicode characters here ?
(for me, all these are working).

На берегу пустынных волн
Стоял он, дум великих полн,
И вдаль глядел. Пред ним широко
Река неслася; бедный чёлн
По ней стремился одиноко.
По мшистым, топким берегам
Чернели избы здесь и там,
Приют убогого чухонца;
И лес, неведомый лучам
В тумане спрятанного солнца,
Кругом шумел.
