Windows 98 has no full support for Unicode. Windows 2000/XP does. End of discussion.

So I take it you can't simply right-click on the file and go Save As?

This functionality exists in Thunderbird... in a lot of web-based email clients, this is provided by the web browser... and I'm pretty sure Outlook/OE (shudder) support it.

Or is this some other medium other than email? Perhaps an alternate means of sending the file is in order.

As others have pointed out, Win98 can't support Unicode (a.k.a UTF8), simply because the filesystem used has no concept of it. The Japanese version uses a slightly different filesystem AFAIK, and so is able to do non-ASCII chars in the file name.
