Ironically they don't show correctly in my own 
mail program. Maybe it's time to upgrade. 
Recommendations?  I'm running a reasonably recent 
flavour of whatever Microsoft is calling it these 
days. I want a fast loading mail program with 
good filing and filtering that allows me to 
exclude images from my incoming mail by default, and has good language support.

I'm going with no whitespace between the 
guillemets and the contents, punctuation 
associated with the quotation inside the 
guillemets and the comma separating the direct 
speech from {jatlh vajar} outside the 
guillemets.  It looked so terrible inside, and that's how the French do it.

Comic Sans is vastly unpopular with the font geeks. I'm not certain why.

My own default font in mail does not distinguish. 
It's cool how unnecessary it is once you speak 
the language. It's necessary for proofreading, though.

Ah that's good, meaning they display correctly for you.

We know of none.
