This has been happening to me as well, and I finally discovered (almost)  
what it is.

There is some peculiar key combination that, when typed, causes the  
deliver button to develop that funny triagle around it without changing  
the NeXT / non-NeXT button to NeXTmail. I don't know what the key is, but  
I have hit it accidentally several times. (Bad ergonomics!)

Fix: Check the mailbox icon on the deliver button before you send. If it  
has the triangle, press the NeXT / non-NeXT button twice, and it will go  
away.

The sysadmin from my polling site complained to me about the same problem,  
and a friend of mine polling that site posts NeXT-style all the time on  
accident.

Don't put any non-ASCII chars in messages to non-NeXT machines. If you do the  
message will look non-NeXT but will go out with uuencoded stuff. Watrch the  
big triangle on the Deliver icon; that'll keep you informed.

Well I don't have a solution, but I had the same problem recently and found out  
that any time you enter an character that's not 7-Bit ASCII the mail is  
automaticly changed to NeXTmail (but the button doesn't change) even if you  
delete the charcter later on.
This problem may also appear when you copy sections from NeXTmail to Non-NeXT  
Mail
