The problem is here ...
You say, that you only write 'normal' 7 bit ascii.
But the special characters are 8 bit ascii ususally with charset iso latin1

Because your computer has the correct charset for that mail. (sure YOU sent
it :)
The trick is to tell us, what charset you used, and than our mail clients
can convert the characters to our local charsets.

Sure ... because some of us live in czech, some in notway, some in isreal
...
and some of us use different codepages !

There are no serious errors.
The codes for the characters you send are the same, they are just
INTERPRETED differently.
(charset in MIME header tells us how you did interpret these characters,
so we know what you wanted to type, but you tell us that you used US-ASCII
which does _NOT_ contain high ASCII characters)

I couldn't explain it very well, but I hope this helps ...
