When I e-mail, my text is riddled with these crazy characters,

[Wally C]

When I send e-mails recipients always get these crazy characters. Simple
dashes turn into –. Someitmes I get weird Japanese character set error
messages. Example:

Staci –

First off, great job on the newsletter. I love the design. Very sharp, Love
the font choices. Great job.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->1) <!--[endif]-->Logo – if you open all the
layers on the logo and go down to the very bottom, you will see 2 layers that
are groups. Open those groups and the shield backgrounds are there.

Any suggestions. Can't find much help.

What encoding do you set your outgoing messages to?

It looks like my encoding is set to Western European (ISO).

Is that a correct setting?

That usually *is* the best encoding for Western European languages.
However it appears that you somehow get multibyte Unicode characters
into your text. Can you try Unicode UTF-8 as your encoding, and see if
the problem still occurs?

How do you type your dashes; straight from the keyboard?
