Instead of showing the character (usually commas, apostrophes, and

instead."
I don't think it is just evolution, as that is the standard way to display
unicode characters if there isn't a matching character in the selected
font. It may be that that email is using a different character set and not
declaring it properly, or it may that there are fonts packages you can add
so that those characters display correctly.
Indeed! Here's a sample of the HTML source code from an e-mail message I
got today on this. Note that the characters which don't show up are all
the ones that are supposedly encoded to display specific HTML
characters:
...but Bishop Fulton Sheen summed it up most succinctly. He was
reviewing a contract for a television deal when he said with a
sigh, “The big print giveth, and the fine print taketh
away.”

It’s understandable when people unfamiliar with the Bible
balk at the simple offer of salvation in verses like John
3:16—they want to know,where’s the fine print? While
the Bible does have more to say about salvation than simply,
“believe and be saved,” the terms of salvation
outlined in the Bible don’t constitute a complex web of
misleading promises.
These are probably "windows 1252" rather than latin1 encoding. Try
changing it in the message display if you can.
