Why do I get chinese characters in SOME sent newsgroup posts?

If you want an illustration, take a look at the first "Re: Looking for
particular weather gadget" post appearing in this newsgroup about 20 minutes
ago.

Randomly (it appears) when posting to newsgroups, my posts have chinese
characters incorporated. If I reply to that post, the new post may or may
not show the characters as chinese - sometimes they are, sometimes they are
magically corrected back to what they were originally. (see the post which
replies to my own post mentioned above).

This sometimes happens when there is a series of >>> characters, which may
(or may not) be converted to assorted chinese characters.

I have already tried changing the character encoding in Windows Mail from
Mime to UUencode. That doesn't seem to have fixed it. I have Nod32 which
presumably scans outgoing posts. I wondered if that might be the problem.
I'm using Vista 64 Home Premium.

Any thoughts or suggestions?
