Can you describe the workflow in detail?

1. Your colleague opens an .htm? .txt? file <produced by what
application?> in TextWrangler
2. copies  from Word for Mac version ???? and pastes it into
TextWranger [THIS IS A MISTAKE]
3. saves the TextWrangler file ... as .txt? as .htm?
4. emails? the file to you
5. in Windows 7? Vista? 3.1? you open the file in notepad? Word?
Emacs? Notepad++? and see à instead of Â

If you send the file back to your colleague, do they see  instead of Ã
