If I may pipe in here. I don't think the problem is client-side. It could be, but probably is smtp server-side. What's happening here is a simple encoding problem. the ascii codes for the various symbols, such as apostrophe, are simply being put in. Google's smtp servers used to do this a while back, but not always, just for the ':' character.

Switching mail accounts while using the same mail client to write to the list would be the best test of that hypothesis.

Take care,

Hi Group,

I know Phil is running a Mac. I find it hard to believe that with all 
the sophistication of the Mac and it's programs that there isn't a 
setting in the mail program that will 'send messages using plain text 
only.'.  Every Windows/Unix/Linux program I have seen has such a 
setting.  Does anyone remember the old Pine mail program from the old 
Unix Shell accounts at the beginning days of the Internet?  Even that 
dinosaur had such a setting.  Someone must know of the proper setting 
for this feature.
