Force Mail.app to always send UTF-8 messages
Authored by: thg on Aug 15, '07 06:59:47PM

I think that a text which the composer considers to be ascii (e.g. no accented chars or smart punctuation) may contain non-ascii nbsp's if in Rich Text (=html) in Mail, and these can get misread by Outlook as non-characters, displaying as question marks. In this situation it is desirable to force the message into uniform UTF-8 so as to get the nbsp's read as spaces. I don't think the terminal command will do this, but adding a Unicode dingbat will.
