Japanese Message Issue

MS Word 2000 / MS Outlook 2000

We have a MS Word form that collects information from our users and
creates a MS Outlook message and sends it. Some of our Japanese users
don't want to use english. I made some modifications to the form and
tested it, but can't get the form data to show up in Japanese in MS
Outlook. The change I made was to send the message in HTML format and
to set the charset to utf-8. In MS Outlook I am now given the option
to change the encoding to view the message, but the Japanese text
still shows up as question marks. Is there a setting in the MailItem
object that I am missing? Is there another way to do this? Thanks in
advance for your assistance. Here is a code snippet:

...
strMessage = "<html><head><meta http-equiv='content-type'
content='text-html; charset=utf-8'></head><body><table>"
...

Set iOutlook = New Outlook.Application
Set iMailItem = iOutlook.CreateItem(olMailItem)
iMailItem.To = "[email protected]"
iMailItem.Subject = strSubject
iMailItem.HTMLBody = strMessage
iMailItem.Send
...
