Make sure your web page is actually specifiying the encoding (AU is the
one provider that can use encodings other than Shift-JIS), and when you
send the mail, also ensure that you have proper MIME headers on the mail
itself. It may help to convert the mail to ISO-2022-JP before sending it.

At any rate, this stuff is painful, and the only real way to figure out
what's going on is to trace it step by step, for each transfer of the
data.
