   Wrote 'I loved my E12's.'  Maybe Ken can explain how =E2=80=99s got
   in there.

It's a problem involving coding systems.  To make the plural of "E12",
you used the Unicode character "Right Single Quotation Mark" instead of
the ASCII character "Single Quote".  Doubtless you just typed what is on
your keyboard and some word processing or mail program made the decision
not to use the ASCII character.  Often these extended character sets go
through correctly, but sometimes they go wrong.  Email is sent in ASCII
with other characters encoded, and some failure in the encoding and
decoding process gave you this garbage instead of your actual character.
I don't know the details.
