The posts are erroneously being encoded in US-ASCII, which does not
contain the necessary characters for displaying Japanese. Any
characters outside of the ASCII character set are being stripped out
at the source. Try as hard as you can, you will not be able to recover
the original. Ideally Google would default to one of the Unicode
encodings. Or better yet default to Unicode but let senders manually
override the encoding as desired (such as iso-2022-jp). I have
reported the issue to Google, but I do not expect to get a response.
In the meantime, for Google Group posters, I recommend including
roomazi as appropriate.

It's nice to see someone romanizing with Sin-kunreisiki.
