No offense, but I'd rather not give you access to my site. It's just that it's hard to trust anyone these days. I'm not saying you would, but I'd hate for my site to be hacked. I'd really hate to have to do that work all over again, if you know what I mean. If this is the only solution to this issue, it might be a last resort to give you access.
As you wish. :)

Also wanted to let you know that this same issue occurs with the apostrophes in the field type: checkbox - list as well. One of the listed items has an apostrophe in it. When the message is forwarded to my Gmail, I get the same type of characters as mentioned before. Also, the apostrophe shows up just nothing after it in the aiContactSafe message and the message forwarded to my other email. There seems to be some common issue with the apostrophe character somewhere.
There is no problem with apostrophes unless you create one in the configuration.
If you used the parameters of the fields make sure you closed all the apostrophes you opened and you don't have strange styles or html attributes.

Here is the code that is in the mail template section. There might be some issue here.

// no direct access
defined('_JEXEC') or die('Restricted access');

// don't remove anything above this text

// you have in the array "$fields" all the information entered in the contact form ( including values in fld_value )
// use <?php echo $fields&#91;'field_name'&#93;->fld_value; ? > to display the value of the field "field_name" ( remove the space between "?" and ">" )
?>

<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="2">
	<?php foreach($fields as $field) { ?>
		<tr>
			<td><span <?php echo $field->label_message_parameters; ?> > <?php echo $field->field_label_message; ?></span></td>
			<td> </td>
			<td> <?php echo ($field->field_type == 'FL')?$field->fld_link&#58;$field->fld_value; ?></td>
		</tr>
	<?php } ?>

Also, here is the CSS code for the profile in which this error is occurring. I hope this helps as well.
/* 
	align - all left
	make sure you have the corect aiContactSafe_mainbody_9 set everywhere on this CSS code
	the number following aiContactSafe_mainbody_ is the id of the profile
	if not properly set, the changes affecting this tag will not take effect
*/

/* display into the center of the page */
div#aiContactSafe_mainbody_9 {
	margin-left&#58;auto;
	margin-right&#58;auto;

Seams you want the error to be in the code and you don't want to consider checking your changes.
I, of course, have those files since I wrote them, but as you could see in the demo page ( if you checked the option to receive the message as well ) there is no problem with the code.
Sorry. Can't help you with this. You have to check your settings and make sure you don't have some strange code into the fields parameters.

Sorry, I wasn't saying the error was in the code. I'm new to Joomla and the whole web site design thing. I didn't know if a new CSS code was generated for each unique profile or field created. I figured if that was the case, then that was where the error was.

I did try sending the message to myself using the site you provided earlier and it did in fact work. I guess I will go ahead and provide you access to my site via administrator. I'll send the info in a PM.

You don't have to do that. I'm creating a temporary hosting account now and we'll discuss on it. :)
