Subject: pasting text from Mac

I type with Times font and save as a text file.  When I paste to e-mail, 
all quotes marks and apostrophes turn into other characters (consistently 
the same characters).  My provider tech support could not help.

Thanks,
David

If possible, turn the "smart quotes" option off in the preferences for
the text editor (e.g. MS Word) that you use. That should solve the
problem. Smart quotes are not supported in regular ASCII text that
commonly flows over the internet.
