That's not a problem. All the characters in MacRoman are also
available in Unicode. Sending email *in* MacRoman across the wire is
not the answer; that's a return to the bad old days.
My keyboard is set to a MacRoman set because most of the time I uses
AppleWorks 6 which knows only MacRoman characters.
Great! No problem. Use MacRoman everywhere you want on your box.
But the moment you send something out to the rest of the world, it
should be in a standard encoding. De facto, even if not de jure,
Windows-1252 is such a standard. Unfortunately.
Back to my own problem, may I set Mail so that it disable the
Windows-1252
encoding (from my point of view, if my writings are wrongly
displaid on PCs,
I wouldn't worry)
Sure. Disabling Windows-1252 is a perfectly valid thing to do. But
I would like to reiterate that your mail message, as sent, had
absolutely nothing wrong with it. It was misinterpreted elsewhere.
and may I enable the "Occidental (Mac OS Roman) encoding" ?
That would allow mail going out as MacRoman, which is less likely to
be correctly interpreted than Windows-1252. I wouldn't recommend it.
I know that this is far from AppleScript but I wish that my
messages are
correctly displaid on this Applescript forum and, as far as I
know, there is
no AppleScript on PCs ;-)
True. But that doesn't necessariliy imply that those of us on the
list are reading it on our Macs. I'm currently at work using GMail
via Firefox running on Ubuntu Linux, for instance.

So, if I try to write a kind of resume,
no need to change my settings,
the problem is not what I sent but the way it was interpreted
somewhere on the net.
If I am right, I suppose that the thread may be closed.
