i am also working with OS X and see the capital s with a funny litte hat 
on top of it.

You can turn it off if you are using the "Mail" app on OS X.

Menu: Format -> Text-Coding -> Westernxxx(ISO Latin1)
(Mabe the name of the menuitems differ a bit, i have a german system)

Unfortunately the OS X mailapp does not have a preference for setting
the textcoding. So you have to set it for every message maually everytime
you display it...

And it even cannot decode "AppleDouble" encoded messages, the default 
setting
of "Outlook Express/Entourage" in OS 9.xx.

But thats another story... ;-)
