My experience is that they don't work very well.  Instead, I think all
Japanese posters to ruby mailing lists should use furigana. :)

Just kidding, honest!  But is there a CJK input method that allows for
furigana, or something similar?  How do Japanese people indicate the
way to read their name, for instance, if it's an unusual reading?
