In this Mail program I have there is no obvious place or button to switch from html to plain text, I am pretty sure I am in plain text. In OE which I used to use, there was a sensible button for this.


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.

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.

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'.

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.

It is apparently a problem with how Mail displays (and forwards) some characters. My original message worked fine from Eudora to Eudora.

Not-equal works fine from Mail to Eudora.
