Force Mail.app to always send UTF-8 messages
Authored by: Pedro Estarque on Aug 13, '07 05:29:24PM
I was kind of simplistic in my post. If you set UTF-8 default, it will always send in UTF-8, but that doesn't work for me because of yahoo webmail.

So if you set it to ISO 8859-1 it will work for both plain and html only if you don't add an attachment. If you do, you'll get plain text in UTF-8 and HTML in ISO 8859-1. This is a bug in my opinion, cause it doesn't make any sense. But it is, however, triggered by a non GUI option (meaning a hack, a hack suggested by Apple itself, but hack nevertheless).

Actually, you're quite wrong about it being a "hack." First, it is a developer-provided option, so its not a hack. Second, it is a developer-supported option, as you yourself showed by linking to the kbase article.

Its just a way of changing what "automatic" means.
