Thu 02 Feb 2006 09:30:03 AM UTC, comment #4: html entities are somehow inserted into the name field but the backend does not unconverted them. I guess that's normal to allow these and to convert them. I'm not sure in fact if it is normal that they get stored in html entities in the database. We should check that.	Mathieu Roy <yeupou>
Thu 02 Feb 2006 01:35:02 AM UTC, comment #3: A good example is where it appears that the apostrophe ['] is converted to the code ['] and then to [User_name#39;] (where the & is translated to the Gna! user name, the first letter of which is capitalised) is: https://mail.gna.org/public/relax-commits/2006-01/threads.html The other instance is the automatically sent emails when I post news items, etc. I don't know a link for this one as it only appears in emails sent automatically by savane from my registered email address [edward at nmr-relax dot com] to my Gna! email address [bugman at gna dot org]. In this case, the apostrophe is solely converted to ['].	Edward d Auvergne <bugman>

Mon 09 Jan 2006 06:40:28 AM UTC, comment #1: Oh, in other places the apostrophe is replaced by the apostrophe code '	Edward d Auvergne <bugman>
Mon 09 Jan 2006 06:36:55 AM UTC, original submission: Apostrophes appear to handled bizarrely in certain places. For example my name on the mailing lists gets changed from Edward d'Auvergne to Edward dBugman#39;Auvergne (my user name is bugman) when committing changes to the project relax repositories.
