It can occur when you receive messages sent by Outlook Express Mac, or
Entourage, due to an encoding bug in these products.

Curly quotes are not part of the ISO 8859-1 character set; you can change
the character set used for the US/Western Europe language family, in the
preferences, to either windows-1252 or UTF-8 if you don't want curly
quotes converted to straight quotes when you send a message with PowerMail.
