Was it actually an apostrophe, or something similar looking being misused as one? ISO-8859-1 is a common standard, but only much use for very plain English. UTF-8 should be supported by just about everything, by now. But could still come a cropper if it went through a 7-bit system (they're still around), UTF-7 is supposed to be a solution to that. You could always give things a bit of a test. Read man iso-8859-1 in a console, cut and paste a slab of it into an e-mail, and post it to yourself. Try out different encoding options, see what happens. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.25.11-97.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
