I think it appears for all recipients, till I could ask only few of them. Most
of users use MS Outlook client, but when attached to recipients non-exchange
e-mail address (some external, web based e-mail account), it also gets garbage.

Unfortunately I have no way to check configuration of the Exchange server.

I was not able to reproduce this with any test messeges too, the issue shows
 sometimes while normal use, unfortunatelly. This is repeateable just for
the same set of receipients and maybe e-mail contents.

Do you use any non-english characters in your e-mail body or recipients names ?
This issue seems  to be related to national character encoding.

Is it normal that recipients names are encoded with UTF-8
regardless you set ISO-8859-2 in your preferences (only e-mail body is
ISO-8859-2 encoded) ?
