Scot, I have used many Google searches to find the underlying cause for my display showing the weird characters instead of the intended apostrophe. The most common explanations are that the original post (ie. yours) is entered using Microsoft Word with the option "smart quotes" selected OR a mismatch in default fonts. Changing the setting for "smart quotes" within Word is simple to solve. Resolving the font mismatch is more complicated. That is why I asked what software you use to enter your posts. By the way, Jean Scott's posts also appear with unexpected characters replacing quotes, apostrophes, etc.
I use only a web browser to read vpFree... no email program involved.
If you are reading your post with the same software you used to compose it, it should look normal to you. Try to read your posts on vpFree using a web-browser. So far I have tested IEv9 and Chrome 21.0,1138 (latest released versions) with identical results.
G'luck all,
