I see no relation between encoding problems (Window nightmare) and the 
Alternative flag.

And Alternative is just a flag. It tells the mail client that all 
attachments are actually the same data in different formats. Then the 
mail client decides what it does with that.

To use, set the property to TRUE just before filling the mail with text 
or attachments with the Add() method.
