Encoding of mail messages is done using the MIME standard, in Mercury as well as in other mail server programs. It should make no difference what language is used as long as the right charset is specified; the mail server just forwards whatever it has received to its destination. It's then up to the receiving mail client to interpret and display the message correctly.
During transfer some content transfer encoding is applied to the contents of the message, like quoted-printable or base64. If you try to read the raw message before it has been decoded it's likely to look rather messy.
