==========================
Specifically, quotes, apostrophes and probably other punctuation
characters come through as little empty rectangles when the email is read as
text only.
==========================
Curly quote and Curly apostrophes do come thru as empty rectangles when the
email is read as text because those characters don't have plain text
equivalents.
I believe that N-dashes and M-dashes do the same and ellipses do also (but
I'm not sure).
I think the solution is to not use such characters. Use plain quotes and
apostrophes. Use plain hyphens. And use three periods instead of ellipses.
