0x97 or 0222 representing — (em-dash)
0x93 representing “ (left double quote)
0x94 representing ” (right double quote)

That is Windows Latin 1, to the best of my knowledge (as opposed to  
ISO Latin 1). I shudder to think what everyone's mail readers have  
done with those symbols I've inserted ;)  I expect that my Apple Mail  
client is using UTF-8.
