Gunnstein Lye	Monday 11 October 2004 5:20:52 am What is the reason for this conversion? MS Word uses special characters in some cases. A quote in Word is not the same character as a quote in emacs, for example. So sometimes you get such errors during copy/paste between MS programs and unix programs (and web programs, which are usually unix based). It probably depends on the browser too. I would expect IE to convert this correctly, but I'm not sure.
