Oh I'm convinced!... I just now realize your mail reader isn't able to
display correctly iso-8859-1 (latin-1) character set :-)
Looking at the headers you'll see that you send only us-ascii (a quite old
subset of iso-8859) while a lot of people use the *standard* iso charset,
where 0x91 is "opening single quote", 0x92 closing, 0x93 "opening double
quote" and 0x94 closing.
Regards,
Bernard
PS: Just curious: how did you send Dutch diacritics if you only use us-ascii
(or is Dutch different from other german languages in not using any of
these?)
