Comment (by takayukister):

 I'm +1. Japanese users are also reporting the same problem.

 I found that mb_encode_mimeheader() treats multi-octet header encoding
 better than PHPMailer. So I wrote a [http://www.miyoshitakayuki.com/wp-
 content/uploads/nippon2.zip plugin] using the function. Since WP 2.2
 released, many users have tried this plugin and for now they reports it
 solves the problem.

 It's not a good approach if other than UTF-8 is used or mbstring library
 is not installed, though.
