The original message actually had some rather strange characters in it
(I added spaces around the weird stuff to prevent 'smarter' email
clients from trying to make sense of them.

= E F = B C = B 7 e recently started using = E F = B C = B 4 erago, and = E F = B C = A 9 have to =
tell you it sucks.

= E F = B C = A E ot only the connection, but = E F = B C = A 9 can't get a response from =
their = 2 0
tech support either.

= E F = B C = A 1 re there alternatives to = E F = B C = B 4 erago in the = E F = B C = B 6 aughn =
area  = E F = B C = 9 F

= E F = B C = A 4 ave = 2 0
 = 2 0 =

So what weird email client though that qualified as plain text?  Even
though it claims UTF8, I didn't think there was an alternate unicode
character for every capital letter in english.  After all why would
there be?

Well after looking it up it turns out that your email client being
overly clever decided that it would be a good idea to use a 
'FULLWIDTH LATIN CAPITAL LETTER V' rather than a 
'LATIN CAPITAL LETTER V'

Stupid Macs.  Always have to use fancy quotes, fancy capital letters and
fancy who knows what, never mind that no one else can read the darn
stuff. :)
