<br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">I wonder if any of you on OS X (Apple) and using Mail.app as a client are still experiencing encoding problems. </div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
No
matter what I do, on my system every diacritic remains unreadable, the
problem has persisted since late January. Moreover, this only happens
with Lowlands-mail, mail from other sources with non-English characters
is perfectly readable. Even more puzzling, when I save a
Lowlands-message with Mail.app and then open it later on with
Thunderbird or Entourage, everything is fine. </div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">After sending the raw headers of a Lowlist-message to an Apple-expert I was told that:</div>
