Well, I do understand Philip partly.

I operated a list with internal members as well, where the character 
set were scored high by _some_ recipients. Although the message text was 
plain English, but the signature, the sender's name, organisation header 
a.s.o. sometimes not.

There had been training on both sides of the list to get the messages 
through smoothly.
