I receive emails in French and whenever there is an accented character, instead of an e with an accent aigu over it, there is the following character set "é" and a different similar character set for other accents. How do I change that so I receive the text with proper accents?
TIA,

And when I sent this message to myself, the characters appeared correctly in Mail with those settings.

Indeed. In the email I received from Joan, the accented e also appeared correctly.

And when I sent to to the list, the copy I received back on my machine still looks correct.

The characters look correct on my iMac. I recently discovered that you can press & hold various keyboard letters on a Mac running Mountain Lion to get a pop-up menu of accented letters much like happens on iOS.

I too have the same concern, and not just with French diacritics.
My use of apostrophes (as in <it’s>) does not render well with Yahoo!.
Misrenderings are not limited to apostrophes. I used to see a lot of this:

Not sure if what I sent is showable. They are 7 red diamonds with white question marks, which I used to get from certain individuals who used (I believe) Microsoft Outlook Express.
The problem that Joan is experiencing may stem from her correspondent’s PC email app, which may be an older version that her own email app can not deal with in some respect.

That is because of your email settings. You need to reset your language preferences.
