There was an extensive discussion about Wingdings in Web pages, not so
long ago.  The conclusion is that, since this is contrary to the HTML
specifications, it is generally NOT allowed.  Only those special
characters that are part of the Unicode standard can be represented in
HTML.

Since Wingdings are not supported by plain-text, ASCII-formatted E-mail,
you would need to use HTML-formatted E-mail.  You would thus face the
same restrictions imposed by the HTML specifications that apply to Web
pages.

Anyone who thinks government owns a monopoly on inefficient, obstructive
bureaucracy has obviously never worked for a large corporation.
