From a mac.com email address! I have one of those too. That is a LONG time ago :-).

I am not using the dashes, they happened to show up as the title of a Safari window tab I was examining. And I read somewhere that the high-number encodings are the technically correct Unicode encodings of em- and en-dash. The &’s don’t work because those are HTML text characters, and people can put whatever they want inside an <a> tag — weird characters and all, and possibly just pasted in or typed in from  whatever text editor they are using, if they can get their hands on the character or know the right character code. (PopChar for example.)_
