[MlMt] MailMate misrendering special characters in HTML messages

[Henry Seiden]

John,

Trying the same in my version 5922.

Embedding in the body of an email does seem to show in my HTML version 
preview… How do you see it?
Mircea Cărtărescu.

I did it by turning on the international character set of Romania. 
Unfortunately, this is inconvenient. Don’t see any easy way around it. 
Non-slavic languages may be different. Copy/paste doesn’t work in my 
set up, even with Markdown enabled.

Respectfully,

Henry Seiden
