I can see no evidence of this; there is no "Content-type: text/plain;
charset=xxxxx" in your headers at all. Perhaps Outlook (or some system
between you and me) ignored or stripped the charset designation and
subsequently munged all letters into Latin-1?

I see E-acute, e-acute, S, s, N, n.

Careful; them's fightin' words.

According to Unicode 2.0, you're correct - they use the character
LATIN SMALL LETTER S WITH CEDILLA. However, the preferred glyph for
this character when used for Romanian uses a comma below.

Newer versions of unicode have a separate character LATIN SMALL LETTER
S WITH COMMA BELOW, but I believe the intention is still to use
...WITH CEDILLA and for the appropriate glyph (with comma below or
with cedilla) to be chosen depending on the language (Romanian or
Turkish, for example).

I'd suggest you change to "...is already used in Turkish as the sound
that I want" as Turkish uses a form with cedilla in its typography.
