Unfortunately Hotmail is what the majority of the target audience use.
I've now changed the script so that it uses iconv to convert
everything to ISO-2022-JP before sending, and now it works OK in
Hotmail.

That's unfortunate, indeed. However, it's not that bad if your recipients are all Japanese and they don't need to receive non-Japanese emails. BTW, I mentioned Mozilla/MS OE as a way to make sure that your mail-sending form works correctly because you were not sure that it worked correctly.
