When I compose an email (plain text or HTML) in Outlook, it always replaces straight quotes with smart quotes. When I get a response from my email, my unwanted smart quote becomes a different character, usually a superscript one: ¹. In other words, I'm becomes I¹m. It makes my message look unprofessional.
Update: I also noticed that sometimes that "I'm" becomes "Iâm" in the reply that I receive.
I noticed that Microsoft Word has a specific preference for this. It's under AutoCorrect, in the AutoFormat as You Type tab, in the the Replace as you type section. There's a checkbox labeled: "Straight quotation marks" with "smart quotation marks"
Can Outlook get the same preference?
In the meantime, is there anyway to fix this?
