OK< I love playing detective to this sort of thing:

If you view the source of the link which Andrew provided you will see lots of 
&#8217;'s appearing in the code. This is a way of representing 'Close single 
quote' in HTML, which they are using instead of a proper apostrophe. Close 
single quote is not part of the ISO-8859-1  specification, so it's probably 
rendered differently in your _plain_ text editors. When these messages get to 
the list-server, they bork.

In this case the problem probably lies with playlistmag.com. Their HTML claims 
to be ISO-8859-1, but the content is not. Perhaps asking them to change the 
charset to Windows-1252 would allow you to cut and paste (since I assume that 
your mac will convert it to the proper charset).



Cheers,
Tim
