Attached .eml sample message with attachment and the sample attachment text 
file separately.  

Unable to open the attachment via the browser after saving as a local file 
because of another bug.  However, if the characters are used in the body of the 
attachment, those characters display as question marks in the body of the 
received mail message.

We do not support that range, those characters are not cross platform.
