Oh, something I meant to ask.. why would this backup application be

Probably just an email library they used, and encoding got brought along for the ride because they internationalized the app for use on non-western systems. Once the application was modified to be able to send notifications in other languages, why not just encode everything.

Besides, if the app developers and testers were using just MS products for email, they might never have even notices the underlying encoding stuff...
