It appears, from attachment 122812 [details], that the mail *does* contain characters that 
aren't part of Big5 -- specifically, the little decorative characters in the 
signature.  See bug 249530, which is about providing a "send this message 
anyway" option from the dialog.

=>INVALID since I have not gotten any response from reporter in any of his 
myriad other bugs.
