Windows does not understand Unicode encoded batch files, so it does not like
Eastern European characters in batch files.
If you copy the message body to a UTF-8 text file, Blat will be able to send
your message just fine. If you need Eastern European characters in the
subject line also, then save that to a UTF-8 text file and use the -sf
command line option to tell Blat the subject line comes from a file.
