GatorLink WebMail is designed to handle plain US-ASCII text only. This is basically the character set available on an old-style manual US typewriter. Trying to send characters other than the basic US-English "typewriter" characters is likely to produce unexpected and undesired results. Even if you can apparently type the character into the message body area, and it appears to display correctly, there is a real possibility that it will end up turned into a "?" or some other symbol that you didn't enter, by the time it arrives in your recipient's INBOX.

Word processing programs such as MS-Word attempt to 'dress up' text by using non-US-ASCII characters, which it calls "smart quotes." These use different characters for "open-quote" and "close-quote"--neither of which is the standard US-ASCII quote-mark. A similar condition applies to apostrophes/'single-quotes.' If you compose your message in Word or some other word-processor program, and then copy-and-paste it into the body of a GatorLink WebMail message, the end result is likely to NOT be what you expected/wanted.

This feature of GatorLink WebMail also means that you cannot use GatorLink WebMail to compose e-mail using "foreign" (non-US-English) language characters.

If you must use "smart-quotes," foreign characters, or other non-US-ASCII characters, you are advised to compose your message using an appropriate word-processing program, save the file in the native format for that word-processor, and include that file as an "attachment" to your message, rather than trying to paste it into the message body.
