 * Hiya,
 * eMails being sent are not escaping (or over-escaping?) apostrophes.
 * For example:
 * `I'm trying this feature out also, even though you didn't ask me to.`
 * gets emailed as:
 * `I\&#39 ;m trying this feature out also, even though you didn\&#39 ;t ask me 
   to.`
 * (without the space between 39 and 😉
 * Is there something I can do to fix this?

 * I see what you mean.
 * Can you try the development version and let me know if this problem is fixed?

 * Meg,
 * I tried the development version you shared and the problem is fixed.
 * Thank you.

 * edit p.s. should this be marked as resolved if the fix is only in a development
   version?

 * Hi Greg,
 * I’ll be putting this fix into 4.1.3. Currently the development version is 4.1.2
   plus this fix, but if you download it again at a later date it will contain other
   changes not yet released.
 * If you are happy to use the version you have until 4.1.3 comes out then please
   do so.
 * I’ll mark this thread as resolved when 4.1.3 is released.

 * Hi Meg,
 * I’m having the same problem. Is it still appropriate to follow the link to the
   development version?
 * Thanks

 * Hi Richard
 * Use 4.1.3 which is ready to go and will be released to everyone in a week or 
   so.
