Your mail reader doesn't interpret extended codes in different character sets

It's a REAL problem nowadays when there's so many disparate mail clients - not everyone uses the same character code sets, and a cut & paste of a word processing document into a mail message, even though it looks fine to the sender, will result in a number of those codes being sent.
