Look and see if you are using UTF-8 or Western(ISO-88589-1).

Depending on which encoding I used the question marks showed (UTF-8).

All of my outgoing mail is plain text. Most of my incoming is HTML,
Google on html mail virus, and see why some of us prefer plain text.

I use Thunderbird that just released an update.

Yahoo mail is HTML and I always have to rewrap to get it in the proper 
plain text format. I send mail to Yahoo via my smtp server and 
Thunderbird for palin text formatting.

I might add that I also use Linux.
