You are using a Mac system font to view your email. I use Courier,
and what I see are two boxes, ie: control characters, well within the
ASCII range.
set s to "Paul Skinner"
{ASCII number s's character 1, ASCII number s's character -1}
{19, 20} --> System font's diamond and apple symbols
The interesting thing would be to find out what logic is at work
here... why does the server end up showing ASCIIs 19 and 20 for
the curly quotes, (ASCIIs 210, 211)?
