It appears correctly using Apple's MacOS X Mail program, and I assume 
it would be fine with Mozilla or Thunderbird on MacOS X as well.

I think using Unicode would be a good idea--I find it far easier to 
read than anything written with the transliteration scheme commonly in 
use here. Perhaps, for a time, we ought to endeavour to compromise and 
provide both the Unicode text and a transliteration? This would allow 
people some time to ensure their systems are working with the new 
format without anyone missing out.
