OE6 E-mail format bug?

I believe I'm running Windows 2000/NT, SP2 and e-mailing w/OE6 (set for
html). Problem is I'm seeing (in my replies back for those using Unicode
UTF-8) either a "\" just ahead of the apostrophy or strangely other replies
back (again in UTS-8) inappropriately have inserted characters of "'" in lieu
of the apostrophes.

Also very odd that (other than it depends on who's e-mails I'm receiving)
that one e-mail reply deletes/omits the apostrophies, displays the inserted
"'" characters and other e-mails preceeds apostrophies with "\".

Again, I'm seeing the replies back (those displaying my initialy sent e-mail
text) where I've used quotes, any sent text (inside the quotes) is
seen (at least in my viewed replies back) as having been omitted or deleted.

I suspect the recipients also are experiencing these added and omitted
characters, so does anyone know if this an unresolved bug somewhere, or can
it simply be resolved with proper e-mail configuration in the sender or
receiver's e-mail settings?

Maybe all this's nothing more than a minor compatabilty issue, but I'd sure
appreciate the shared expertise to resolve this.

Note, I prefer to see hyperlinks and html in my received/opened e-mails,
plus I
frequently send inserted pics and wav's in my e-mails, and I'd prefer to not
lose
those niceities.

Thanks for afforded replies.
 
Okay, I see even posting here, that my use of the quoted " & # 0 3 9 ; "
(less the space I've added in this post), omits the quoted text. Seems like
those characters maybe some script which is disallowed (i.e.; ').
 
Steven, you can change your Format with each email you send out--did you
know that? Just go up and click on Format, and select "Rich Text" HTML.

Dunno about the other problems except did you go up into Tool/Options and
Send and do you have checked "Reply to messages in the format they were
sent" ??? And, check the other tabs, Compose, and General.

Just a long time OE user.

Again, html is my preference. It is checked.

Had that ticked, seems that's why I'm seeing inserted script and
backslashes. Will report back when confirming.

Did.

Still, it seems odd that even using webmail (here) that the apparrent
scripting is deleted.

Thanks again for afforded replies.
