7-bit US ASCII test is a thing of the past. 8-bit character sets (eg: the Latin-1 ISO-8859-1) have been normal for a long time. However, there is more than one 8-bit character set. To avoid character clashes, characters greater than #127 can (and should) be represented by entity references.

Languages which don't fit the 8-bit character set at all can be represented by entity or numeric references. Everything below would be legible when viewed as an unaltered web page. However, web-to-email software has to do a lot of reformatting, and much of it is based on US-ASCII, so we cannot expect too much.
