"Philip's second reply in this thread" is presumably my message of 09/10/2015 17:36, which read : > Gates, Jeff wrote: > >> Instead of a ³tick² mark for an apostrophe, I¹d like a mark like you see >> here: ¹ >> This: ¹ Not this: ' > > Hmmm, what I see are superscript 3, 2 & 1 in that order, followed by a > prime.

If your (Chris's) e-mail client displays superscript 3, 2 and 1 for both parts of the message, then it is either incapable of rendering even basic Unicode glyphs correctly, or (more likely, in view of the fact that it sometimes sends in "euc-kr" encoding) it is incorrectly configured. If it displays superscript 3, 2 and 1 for the earlier part and the correct quotation marks for the latter part, then it is behaving correctly (in this respect, at least).
