Which client are they using?  Probably (bloody) Pegasus, which stuffs
Eudora 3 as well.  Non-standard standards are a pain in the bum.

There are quite a few top-of-the-range clients out there that hit
problems with some of the more obscure encoding formats, on PC, Mac
and Amiga.  Don't let it get you down :)  Pegasus and Eudora let the
sender define the encoding format, so tell them to try something
else!
