How can I tell Apple Mail to send every new message with UTF-8 as text
encoding instead of the automatic setting which causes problems under
10.5.2 Leopard? The manual setting switches back to automatic with the
next new mail...

I think you're looking for this command (in Terminal):

defaults write com.apple.mail NSPreferredMailCharset "UTF-8"

Hope it works.
