Vacation message character encoding

I am trying to send a vacation message (.vacation.msg) from my AIX 5.3 server. Message is UTF-8 characters. Some email clients (like apple mail) have no problems displaying the correct text, however, some, like Windows Outlook, display garbage.

Is there a way of forcing the client to use proper encoding to read/display the message?
