They're spelled out at the bottom of the reply to my email to Juergen
and in my reply to another email on the same thread, but just in case
here they are in combined format:
1. The header problem
Message headers required by imode phone (for correct display of emoji):
To: <email address>
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-2022-JP
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Message headers generated by mozilla email client
MIME-Version: 1.0
To: <email address>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-2022-JP
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
So it seems that the MIME-version header must come after the the To: header
2. Generating the emoji:
If you click on the pen icon on the system tray of a Japanese windows
system, one of the options is IME Pad, and that allows you to enter
unicode characters. The program found by David (
http://www.0563.net/top/imoji.htm ) allows you to see the emojis
themselves in the IME pad, but I don't think that is essential to get
the system to work. For example the sun character is 0x363e in Unicode
and 0xf89f in ShiftJIS so you could just find that in the IME pad and
enter it without the correct symbol being displayed.
the emoji codes and gifs here:

[I have checked and no combination of &#xxxx; (i.e. hex code, decimal)
works on my phone SO503iS - only the symbols entered using the IME pad]
3. Summary
You must send an email to your phone that has the header format
described above, and the correct unicode emoji in the body in order to
see the emoji character in the phone email (as far as I can work out)
