Shouldn’t be a problem. Plain text does not mean 7 bit ASCII. Any modern Windows should process UTF-8 without an issue. I think even a fully patched Windows XP will do so. defaults write com.apple.mail NSPreferredMailCharset -string "UTF-8" Apple Mail tries to choose the “right” encoding for the content, but I find forcing it to UTF-8 is simpler all around. -- "...and that's not incense" _______________________________________________ MacOSX-talk mailing list [email protected] http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk
