Importing from OE: Japanese subject fonts corrupted

When importing into Outlook 2002 from Outlook Express the subject lines of
emails written using a Japanese font (MS MinchoP) are corrupted. I've tried
customising the Display View to determine whether it was simply a matter of
font used (changed Tahoma to MS MinchoP) but still the subjects were
corrupted. Is there a fix for this ?
 
In Outlook 2002, the subject always uses the default system character set. The message body should appear properly but the subject will not.

The "fix" is to upgrade to OL2003 which has improved character set capabilities.
 
Thanks,

But... then isn't this a bug for which MS should release a free upgrade ?
Otherwise we're left with having to QA the whole MS office release again
from scratch....

It is not a "bug", it is a design constraint of OL2002 and earlier which was
changed in OL2003.

If your email requirements include a significant proportion of multi-lingual
documents, you should upgrade to Outlook/Office 2003.
