Aha! A Windoze weirdness or maybe HP. You may have accidentally set an offbeat text character encoding standard. That was the problem on the Mac and a subject of several tech blogs on the subject. And a cursory search on "Windows weird email characters" will bring up a number links to articles too. I'm using UTF-8 in Thunderbird and this post.
I think part of the problem too is that so many software engineers are assuming everyone is using Rich Text for email these days too.
