[thelist] Em dashes not displaying for the client

[Clive R Sweeney]

I just had an email from a client who says, "You use the EM dash — 
in your pages and you also use charset=iso-8859-1. I don't think the EM 
dash will display using that charset. It doesn't display for me in IE or 
netscape or galeon or konqueror."

This is one of those situations where I don't have the problem but the 
client does. I really don't want to replace all the em dashes on his 
site with double hyphens, just because one person's computer doesn't 
display the character properly. Then again, maybe this em dash problem 
is more common than I think.

Apparently he has also tried replacing "iso-8859-1" with other character 
encodings and the em dashes still don't display.

Does anyone have an idea what the problem is here?
