(1) Once again, and I wish I could emphasize "again", I am extremely 
grateful to you.

(2) I have gone to Mozilla/Preferences/Mail & Newsgroup/Send Format and, 
in fact, there was a place saying:
When you send a message to an address with one of the domain names 
listed below, Mail automatically sends the message in the correct format.
I entered
    mailto:MacOSX-TeX at email.esm.psu.edu.
which, I hope, should do it.

Regards
