source of the mail that I tested

Depending on the range of characters available in the default sans or serif
font, and the font-family line, characters outside that range may not be
displayed. In fact, the only way to display for instance Japanese, is to define
a Japanese font that MUST be on the receivers system, and NOT define fonts that
are NOT on the receivers system. For example,  with 'Meiryo' not on my system, 
and 'Sazanami Mincho',reikofont available: 

body style="font-family: serif"   --- does NOT display Japanese
body style="font-family: Meiryo,reikofont,serif"   --- does NOT display
Japanese 
body style="font-family: reikofont,serif    ---- displays Japanese with
reikofont
body style="font-family: 'Sazanami Mincho',reikofont,serif   --- displays
Japanese with Sazanami Mincho
