Force Mail.app to always send UTF-8 messages
Authored by: dmmorse on Aug 13, '07 09:04:51AM

I tried it too, not as root, but as my normal user, and it did not work, not even after quitting Mail before making the change.

Force Mail.app to always send UTF-8 messages

Can you send yourself an email and then check the message header to see what encoding is set? As I said in my comment above, I have had success with this, but it only is clear that you were successful if you look at the message headers, not what the encoding submenu shows.

Yes, I sent myself an email to check the message encoding, and it did not work. Also, since I normally have mail default to RTF format, I switched the format to plain text and sent another test email. It still did not work. I have not tried changing the setting as root, but I don't see why that would affect the settings in a single user's account above and beyond changing the setting within the account itself.

I just did it as myself, and it did work on both my MacBook Pro and my old G5 tower.
Is everyone on 10.4.10?
