elipses/medium hyphens in e-mail mess change to wavy lines/other

[Guest]

Recently I've encountered a situation where when I create a message in
Outlook that contains elipses (3 dots) or medium length hyphens, when
received by certain recipients those two elements of the message change to
either wavy lines (ex. Bottom line is~~~you can use them for more than just
assessing a potential client~~~you can make them as an additional income
stream~~~one that can lead to client relationships much broader and deeper
than just coaching.) 2nd example (This will be the third time I've sent this
one to you…(I put three dots here)each time it's fine going out of here.
I'll copy myself – (I put a hyphen here) with hyphens, etc to see what
happens.)

When I cc myself at the same time, no changes take place, but the other
recipient reports changes as per the examples above

Any thoughts or insights as to why this would be happening...but wtih no
real consistency?

You don't state what version of Outlook you use, what email format you're
using and whether or not your recipients use Outlook or another email
application.
My guesstimate would be that you're using Outlook in rich text format. You
may want to try changing to plain text or html to see if that helps,
especially if your recipients don't use Outlook.
