Gmail, and the newer versions of Hotmail (Windows Live) and Yahoo (Beta) display UTF-8 encodings just fine. This shows up most commonly as an A-circumflex when there are two spaces adjacent, and one of the spaces is *supposed* to be displayed as a non-breaking space.

It should no longer be necessary to avoid characters like the “fancy quotes” that Word creates. Please forward examples of any remaining problems to me.
