Carrie and others--
I've discovered that things in the email message that don't show up will when I
hit reply or forward, so I sometimes do that just to see what the message is.
This used to happen a lot with Grace's messages, I think. If it was smart
quotes, and that makes sense seeing their locations, then the validator didn't
replace them with straight quotes but just added them. Ugh.
