I use a lot of Spanish accents and before I switched to Lion I could go to Characters, click on the one I wanted and then click on "insert."

I just switched to Lion and I can find the character, but the "insert" button is gone.

How do I get the character into my email???

Thank you, Chas. I also realized it works if you double-click on the character. Appreciate your response.

Glad it worked for you!
