[Using Sakai] Mail-list - odd-character mappings?

[Gregory Guthrie]

Looks the same.

Original:
     Thanks –  we are running 2.9-snapshot.
     I used the entity picker, and the link is in the “Site Info” display on the home page.

   In Notepad:
      -   " "

Not a big deal, but Curious!
I sent the last note(s) using Plain-Text instead of HTML to see if that changed it.

Seen the same thing in various other mail-lists, lots of ?? escaped characters; especially confusing in code sections!

Probably smart quotes and long hyphens, courtesy of MS? If you past the original text into notepad, then type a normal quote or hyphen next to it,  what do you see?

Get converted into placeholders in the mail-list:
      Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"
