Well, what Thunderbird does is completely client side and has nothing to
do with PHP. What charset do you have defined for the page?
And if they care cutting and pasting from a Word document or a PDF,
chances are the document itself has the special characters. For
instance, Word can use different characters for left and right double
quotes, depending on the version and releases.
Nothing in PHP or MySQL would handle such characters; you'll have to
handle them yourself, i.e. with str_replace().
