Re: [MlMt] MailMate misrendering special characters in HTML messages
I’m having same problem, and, sometimes, when I choose “download”, I get “missing image” reports ([screenshot](http://i.imgur.com/LT5uSLU.png)), even when the images have downloaded as attachments. I’ve reported this as bug #3141.___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com https://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate

You're attempting to answer a different question than was asked. My question concerned MailMate's rendering of incoming messages, NOT about any message I'm trying to send. The issue was correctly responded to by Pete Resnick about 45 minutes ago.

Still, from a user's point of view, this is a problem that Apple Mail handles well while MailMate does not, which is unfortunate from a MailMate fan's standpoint. ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com https://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate
