Characters like ǽ should come through fine. In the past we've had trouble with some characters of the Georgian alphabet and a few others, but most extended characters work without any trouble. Depending on your email software you may need to do some extra configuration to get it to send as UTF-8. (UTF-7 should also work, but is less common.) In Thunderbird, which I use, just click the "Send in UTF-8" button. In theory we could use actual IPA symbols instead of CXS (http://www.theiling.de/ipa/), but the CXS has become more or less traditional on this list, and is easier to type. The CXS page has a box you can paste CXS text and see what it looks like in IPA.
