Is the text document in UTF8 format? If not, you may have to convert it to
a more universal format. Unfortunately, AFAIK, if the codepage your text
was encoded into is not recognised or compatible, you'll get garbage. IIRC
the scandinavian languages use an odd encoding, and this does cause
problems in the decoding in email apps etc under other OS for me (Western
European or UTF-8.)

Hope that helps,
