A quick look at the headers suggests that Ray is using Outlook Express. However, the actual cause of these strange characters is that the encoding is UTF-7; a non-Microsoft IETF proposal for mail-safe Unicode encoding dating from 1994 - a time when Microsoft didn't even have SMTP clients! (see http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1642.html) Given that US English isn't the only language on the net, it is a pity that people aren't using Unicode capable mail clients these days...
