You still seem to have some character set problems with your mail
program; in the digest version, your quotes and apostrophes come out
as question marks, while in the web archive:
http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikien-l/2007-April/069747.html
they're superscripted numbers. What do people who get the messages
in single-message form see? The header as shown by this message in
the digest has the content type as text/plain; charset="ISO-8859-1",
which is a character encoding that doesn't have so-called "smart
quotes" (curly quotes and apostrophes) in it, so if your mail program
is trying to insert them, this is bogus. You should stick to plain
ASCII straight quotes.
