    That’s actually very interesting.

    To date I’ve pretty much only used the long boy to identify people who use MS Outlook.

    If I see the body of the email contains a hyphenated word using the extra wide hyphen I brace myself for a bit of winmail.dat attachments and other non compliant email hackory. Like reacts. Why are those a thing? 👍

      It’s not too hard to use proper dashes yourself, depending on platform.

      On iOS and Android, they can be reached by long-pressing on the hyphen-minus key.

      On Mac, option+hyphen-minus gives you en dash, and option+shift+hyphen-minus gives you em dash.

      Windows is the worst, but if you have a numpad, alt+0151 (numbers must be on the numpad) gives you em-dash, and alt+0150 is en-dash.
