Contractions in messages
Whenever I use a contraction in a message (e.g. couldn't, moderator's, etc.), the receiver sees it with "’" in place of the apostrophe. I have seen this not only on my site, bur on other sites to which I am a member. Is this a known problem for which there is a fix pending?

Pasting text with commas and apostrophes wreaks havoc w/Messages
I like to compose my longer messages off line in Microsoft Word where I have built-in spell check and paste the text into my Wetpaint messages. However, quote marks and apostrophes get converted and sent as the following escape codes:
Apostrophe gets sent as ’
Quote marks get sent as “
For example, isn't gets sent as isn’t
I've numerous different fonts, and the problem persists. Curiously, when I paste into a web page (instead of a message), I don't have the problem.
This has caused confusion among my Wiki members, and so, I'm having to compose every message from scratch even though 80% are the same from one member to the other.
Please help.
