C&P should work on all applications which are able to
display japanese text.

For sylpheed I use a wrapper script which starts sylpheed
in an japanese environment

apprich at elmstreet apprich $ cat ~/bin/sylpheed
#!/bin/sh
export LC_ALL=ja_JP
export LANG=ja_JP.eucJP
export XMODIFIERS='@im=kinput2'
kinput2 -canna &
/usr/bin/sylpheed

You can use this wrapper for all GTK-based applications. All GTK
based applications are able to handle japanese. Typing japanese
is possible by pressing shift+spacebar

You need to have kinput2 and Canna installed.
