You're using Unicode characters instead of Western.  On the site it's garbled.  Of course it looks fine in your own email, because you're reading it in the style you typed it in.

Anyway, translation:

Don't forget that those crazy English think "Jno" is a suitable nickname
for "John."

I assume you meant "Jon."  But I don't know anyone who thinks it's a nickname for "John," it's short for "Jonathan."  Or even, nowadays for some reason, sometimes for "Jonathon" (which makes me think of a telethon for someone named Jonathan who's got some unfortunate disease).
