Dan,

I am late getting around to reading this thread, but had a thought that was
not mentioned. If Entourage is using the quote character as a special
character you might try one of the following:

>From starts with """
>From starts with \"   or is that   /"

Don�t know if that will help, but those are standard ways of escaping a
special character.

Good luck,

   Jim
