I'm also a Mac user, and encountered the same (at least very similar) problem
in the past.
In my case, there were two causes.
(1) The files were RTF files (which was the default in my Mail Preferences).
You can force TextEdit or Mail to convert to plain text, and can change the
preferences for Mail so that it sends plain text.
(2) In addition, the EOL character was occasionally wrong. For than I used a
mac2unix command line utility.
To avoid each of these problems, I eventually used unix style redirection to
save the chageset directly to a file (from the Terminal) and then attached the
saved changeset to the email. For example,
hg export tip > ~/Desktop/myChangeSet.diff
