Oh, that sounds like a bug not just a difference.  Thanks for the recording, 
since I don't have
the same cool org-mode stuff you do, could you share the log messages for 
sending that
sentense (maybe with the one before and after).  Feels like the proper 
behavior is what 
the mac server is doing, so I need to find where and why swiftmac is not 
producing a 
large enough pitch shift.
