When I receive emails from some of my friends, quotation marks and apostrophes do not display properly. Instead of apostrophes, I get ’. Instead of quotation marks, I get “. If I reply to one of these emails, and my correspondent replies back to me, quotation marks display as “.

As you can imagine, this makes reading emails annoying. What causes this, and Is there some way to fix it? Thank you!

I looked back at my emails and see it only occurred once. Now I cannot find it. Since I use imap, maybe it self-corrected?
