You're using plain text, as is he, the issue is the non-standard
characters and the character encoding set you're using. Plain text is
not a single thing.
OK, so what can be done to at least see the characters I type come
back on the list as they appeared when I sent them? Is there a
setting in Mail, in the OS X prefs that Mail can take a lead from?
In Mail this is set in Preferences > Composing, there's a dropdown
list offering Plain Text or Rich Text. Under the Format menu there's
a selection Make Rich Text if your default is Plain Text and vice
versa.
Yes, I set this up a while back and it is plain text.
This is odd. Doing get info on a file, and changing what program
opens it should change all of those permanently, when you press the
Change all it should 'stick'.
Well, what happens is what I described in my (latest) original post.
Especially see the dialog box notice I described.
However, also, OS X distinguishes between afile.jpg, afile.JPG,
afile.jpeg and afile that happens to be a jpeg without extension. So
if there are a variety of extensions, you may need to do it more than
once.
Well, this is fine by me...(though it is especially annoying that it
distinguishes between JPG and jpg...)
