In other words you might be using some of these characters:

 ÀÁÂÃÄÅÆÇÈÉÊËÌÍÎÏÐÑÒÓÔÕÖØÙÚÛÜÝÞß 
 àáâãäåæçèéêëìíîïðñòóôõöøùúûüýþÿ


The main challenge is to be sure that the correct character set is defined and
that such special characters are properly encoded by a reliable means (7bit
Quoted Printable MIME is the most universally accepted).  Non-western charsets
such as Russian/Greek/Cyrillic and Japanese/Chinese/Korean are also possible.

There are instructions in chap 9 of the site Mgr and List Owner manuals for
modifying MAILTPL template messages and getting them to display in appropriate
national language charsets as well.  Certain internal hard-coded messages are
not resently translatable or modifiable.
