I use Mozilla Thunderbird, myself, which handles Unicode fine without 
any change in setting.  Outlook Express on XP supports Unicode fine as well.

I imagine when you see gibberish, it's that the sender either tried to 
send Unicode but their mail program marked their message as ASCII (ie 
their mail program isn't set up properly), or else it's some proprietary 
encoding from Bibleworks, Gramcord, etc etc that wouldn't look right in 
anybody's email.  In those cases it's been done unintentionally.
