Huh? E-mail servers don't do anything with the "Data" part of a message
other than to pass it on and a Received header. There's no reason for them
to need to "understand" curly quotes or anything. To a proper e-mail server,
a message consists of three things: the envelope sender (MAIL FROM command),
the envelope recipient (RCPT TO command), and the message itself (DATA
command). Note that the visible headers (From, To, Subject, Received, etc.)
are part of the DATA section of the message.
