WL Mail - apostrophe forces unicode encoding
Both of our laptops use Windows Live Mail on Windows 7 Home Premium. IN WLM, all encoding is set to default to Western European (ISO) and also to read all incoming messages in that same encoding.
When we create a new message in Rich Text Format and include a single apostrophe ('), then Save the email as a draft, it instantly changes encoding to Unicode (RTF-8). This can be seen on the title bar on the email. Remove the apostrophe and save again and it reverts to the default ISO encoding.
Anyone have an idea why this is happening? My wife is using Comic Sans MS font in 14 pt size and blue coloring, regular (meaning no bold or underline or italic). I'm using Calibri 12pt, regular, black. It happens on both machines.
Is this apostrophe somehow not being accepted as a legal ascii character? These are identical Dell Inspiron N0430 laptops, about a month old. Standard keyboard.
Thanks.
