Probably the software taking you back into preview mode when you reply. As you no doubt know, single quote (apostrophe) and double quotes are special characters in html. When you are reading the post your browser like IE6 should recognize the html coding and convert it to ascii I guess the blog software could do the same at the preview level and not depend on the browser at the final publication level. Probably never bothered anybody before. It is strange that it does it in the preview title, but not in the body. Bug in the software? Not worth fixing?

There is a whole long list of special characters in html, including both parentheses, the dollar sign, most punctuation marks, etc. When you see something lile &quote or &39 it is just the software not converting html to ascii. IE6 should convert it when the text is published.
