Hawk Wings wraps up "Talking Mail.app" series
Hawk Wings, Tim Gaden's blog about all things Mail.app, has been running a
series for the last couple months in which he chats with various developers and "iCelebrities" about the ups
and downs of Apple's default email client. The list boasts around 20 interviewees ranging from Brent Simmons (of NetNewsWire fame), Rob Griffiths (of MacOSXHints and Macworld), John Gruber (of
Daring Fireball), as well as devs of all sorts of handy utilities like Textpander, FlickrExport and much more. In the series, Tim asked these
individuals a well-rounded set of questions that make for good brain food, such as: what plugins they use, their
favorite/most hated thing about Mail.app and the one thing they'd tell the dev team if they could.Conveniently, Tim put together a roundup post linking every interview, so head on over to Hawk Wings and get your learn on with various "iCelebrities" and Mail.app.

None of these guy mentioned my pet peeve with Mail.app. The way it handles Rich Text is NOT compatible with the rest of the world. Well, at least if there is an attachment involved.
If you use Rich Text and include an attachment, any WINDOWS recipient will see nasty QUESTION MARKS all ove the place - pretty much anywhere you hit the space bar.
I know, I know, Plain Text is more secure but a bug is a bug. Why not HTML format instead?

I am searching high and low for a solution to this question mark problem in Rich Text. If I send plain text, my friends using outlook complain of nasty line breaks, if I use rich text all see question marks. If i can figure out how to move my folders I think i'm going to thunderbird. i can't take it anymore!!!
