As I understand it, the encoding is for input to message body and it should normally be the same as one's system encoding. The output encoding seems to be at the mercy of the programmers. I'd prefer that it be UTF-8 but like you, my messages appear to be encoded as 1252.

A de-facto standard, I'm afraid, AFAIU it's because some widely used webmail programs dislike Unicode.

Be interesting to discover if Mail.app has a preferences key which specifies the output encoding. Maybe something like:


defaults write com.apple.mail NSPreferredMailCharset "UTF-8"



I searched many times in the preference file but never saw such a pref.

On my machine, the pref file is:
"Macintosh HD:Users:yvankoenig:Library:Preferences:com.apple.mail.plist"

When I select a setting different than "Automatique" it reverts immediately to "Automatique".
