Use Mail.app for quick and easy plain text conversion
Authored by: kholburn on Aug 01, '06 08:10:56AM

Every now and then I have to deal with a file that is text but not ASCII. Some kind of 2 byte code. In this case vi/vim opens it as code whereas TextEdit will open it as text but even so saving it with TextEdit doesn't change it to ASCII. Copying and pasting it into an Apple Mail.app New message converts it to single byte ASCII.
