This may be the fault of my ISP, the illustrious AT&T's "Webmail".
It may not properly tag my outgoing messages as UTF-8. A colleague
has written privately to say that it was necessary to manually set
the character set to UTF-8 in order for my contrived example to
display.



No, it came out fine on my screen. I mean, I didn't see the MAS glyphs,
because I'm not using Code2001 as my default e-mail font. But I did see
the correct number of black .notdef boxes (four), without having to set
anything.


I got garbage, until I explicitly set the character coding to UTF-8; it had auto-set to 8859-1. Mozilla 1.4. Go ye and figure.
