Hello,
Since I started using Mail on OS X, some correspondents, but apparently not all, who work on PC receive my messages with all the accented characters turned into hieroglyphics (or rather ideograms), complete sections of the message disappear, and PDF images are not attached.... These correspondents assure me that they correctly receive messages from other MAC users, so the encoding problem must be coming from me....
Does anyone have an idea about the origin of this problem?
Thank you.

Which font do you use (in Preferences)? Times is the same on PC as it is on Mac. That's the one I use (I have 2 PCs running XP and 3 Macs with OSX 10.4.5 at home… ;-))
Krosoftanti,
following your advice, I tried sending messages specifying Windows Latin 1 (ISO 8859-1) as the encoding (it was set to Automatic) but the accents still didn’t cross the MAC/WINDOWS border; so I tried changing the font and there was a MIRACLE, the Arial font transmits accents without any problem!!!! Quite strangely because the default font in Mail is Helvetica which isn’t exactly a very exotic font; but anyway, Arial works, so we will use Arial!!!
Thank you for your help
