Your terminal/mail client/something between the email and your screen
can't handle non-ASCII characters.

I imagine Apple have got OS X down pat -- they've always been good
with non-ASCII characters.  (Hell, the original Mac could do em and en
dashes by pressing Option-Shift-Hyphen)

So the problem will be Woody.  It's something to do with
/etc/environment but I haven't been able to solve it myself yet.
Waiting for a response from someone who has solved it.
