I did a quick search and probably found the same things you did. It does seem to point to a
font problem. I know you said you'd tried different fonts but maybe another one would work. In
general, Arial and Helvetica are very complete but you may have others. You can use Font Book
to examine them and see which ones have the most extensive set of glyphs. I'd think Courier
would work though, and you tried that. Check to see if your Courier has a complete set of
glyphs, I don't think the older original Courier did but Courier New does.
If we were talking about LC I'd think it was a problem with 8-bit vs. 16-bit translations but
you'd think Mail would know how to deal with that.
Also, I read that you need to restart Mail when you change the default font.

Sorry about the bad header on my last post, but maybe that is yet another

old dudes, or do I blame it on Omricon !!

Sorry Jacqueline and Curry, I should have sent an acknowledgement of your
previous speedy response to my question.
Jacqueline and Bob, in Apple Mail I can only find an option for plain text when
composing mail, not receiving mail, but you can choose the font used to display
a message. I normally use Lucida Sans as its cross platform (from what I
understand), but I have tried many others such as Courier to no avail.
Regardless, I don’t think mail clients are designed to handle mail lists in an
intuitive manner, which is why I asked my original question looking for a
“great” GUI hopefully in LC ;-)
Thanks again and kind regards, Bob...

Yes it does. I use Apple Mail in this way and it works fine.

I'm not sure why you're getting garbage in the posts. I have Thunderbird set to
show posts as text-only and I don't see the problem. I've never much liked
Apple Mail so I'm not familiar with its features but maybe it has something
similar to the above.
