Can anyone tell me what combination af MIME, type and charset to use when submitting a plain ol' Mac text file with non-ascii chars in it?

Sorry, but there basically isn't one. Mac OS 9 uses "Mac Roman" as its character set, which uses a particular mapping of the high-bit-set characters onto the Unicode character set that doesn't agree with any of the traditional ISO 8859-x (ISO-Latin-x) mappings that most mail clients understand.


Thus you could try

Content-type: text/plain; charset="mac-roman"

but no mail client is actually going to understand that.
