Sounds like another job for The Demoroniser [fourmilab.ch]... Or an equivalent tool.

  Actually in this case, the email isn't HTML (I don't read HTML email), it's plain text.
  
  It's probably a programmer somewhere who thinks that iso-8859-1 and Windows-1252 are the same thing.

    It's probably some programmer somewhere who has no idea what charsets are, or didn't bother caring enough to check the output, and just used someone else's code (either an existing library or copy/paste).
