The most convenient way to do that is probably the Secrets preference pane, but I'm sure the good old defaults command will do the trick as well… http://secrets.textdriven.com/preferences/edit/301 I haven’t tried it myself, but if you’re unhappy with the encodings Mail uses for the messages, there seems to be a preference in Mail for that which you may want to play with.
