    Dash characters within a submitted form convert longer dashes like Em. Is there a way to stop this?

    Example-
    Submitted text: Test – Test
    Received text: Test – Test
    See how the received text has a longer dash? How can this be stopped?

    Same result. Only way to stop the hyphen from converting is to un-check the box “Use HTML content type”. Somewhere in the site code it’s converting the Hyphen. Any further checks we can do?

    …please note if I turn off html the dash/hyphen comes over as needed. I really need the form to use html. Perhaps there is another way to code this? Example top portion of the mail message body below…

    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html>
    <head>
    <meta charset=”utf-8″/>
    <style>
    body {
    font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;
    vertical-align:text-top;
    }
    td {
    text-align:left;vertical-align:top
    }
    pre,
    samp {
    font-family: Arial;
    font-size: 10pt;
    vertical-align:text-top;
    }
    pre {
    background: #fff;
    font-family: Arial;
    font-size: 10pt;
    font-size: 0.625rem
    line-height: 1.0;
    margin-bottom: 0.0em;
    max-width: 100%;
    overflow: auto;
    padding: 0.0em;
    }
    </style>
    </head>
    <body>

    <table width=”100%” border=”0″ cellspacing=”3″ cellpadding=”3″>
