Apostrophe
Yahoo Message Number: 143679
Does anyone else see 80&39 in place of an apostrophe when your post is sent to be read? Instead of an apostrophe I get 80&39. It is very distracting since there are many apostrophes in a typical message. Thank you for any input.

I sympathize, Allen. My last name is O'Neil. You should see some of the configurations I get in many different places.

Yes. It's an extremely annoying and unforgivably stupid Yahoo bug that was introduced with the "Neo" format a couple of months ago, and there's no sign they are going to fix it.

From THE COMPUTER IS NOT YOUR FRIEND Department: Some internet applications choke on special characters, and to avoid them will convert them to something like what you see.   Annoying, isn&39t it?
