xpbiff-youbin: fancy biff program under X11 environment, supporting Japanese
MIME extensions and youbin

    This port supports Japanese strings in the From and Subject fields.
Please set the LANG enviroment variable to ja_JP.EUC by doing:
        setenv LANG ja_JP.EUC
    There is experimental support for Sun audio.  This port also supports
XPM bitmap files.

known problem:
    (1) HANKAKU-KANA
       Xpbiff dumps core, because code conversion routines jis2euc()
    assumes "the conversion does not makes the string longer".   But
    when converting so-called 'hankaku-kana', this assumption breaks.
Thank you.
