Instead of answering your question, I would like to ask you a question.
What should be the correct "charset" parameter of HTML files generated
by MHonArc?

That why I hope the patch to be merged as a configurable option, not a
default behavior.  Besides, I assume the share of mail messages written
in ISO-2022-JP-2 is less than 1/100,000 of Japanese messages.  In short,
ISO-2022-JP-2 is dead.
