You might want to look at my patch for Japanese support in the contrib
directory; you can use something similar to how I add Content-Type and
Content-Transfer-Encoding headers.

Also, you will want to consider properly encoding the body and headers
with Quoted-Printable and QP encoding.  The MIME:: modules should do
this easily.
