 * When trying to send an email template preview, I receive the following error:
   
   Unable to send email: Directive ‘magic_quotes_gpc’ is deprecated in PHP 5.3 and
   greater.
 * I received the same error in the log after scheduling a blog post:
    Error 2014-
   08-07 05:00:14 Unable to send email: Directive ‘magic_quotes_gpc’ is deprecated
   in PHP 5.3 and greater.
