Those are the characters you typed encoded as UTF-8. It seems correct
but pointless. If you have only windows-1252 characters, there is no
need to convert them into utf-8. It is not wrong but it is useless.
The only thing really wrong is that you should not send 8 bit encoded
messages as many mail gateways do not supported. Instead of 8 bit you
should use quoted-printable encoding.
You can also have 8 bit characters in the headers but they must be
encoded with q-encoding to avoid the same problem with the message body.
This is a bit complicated to encode by hand. I use this MIME message
composing and sending class to take care of all that for me.
