Take a look at the two attachment pictures. One picture is the HTML version of
the above email. The other is how it is rendered properly in gmail.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Just look through your emails for odd looking characters

OBSERVED RESULT
See one of the attachments, I have circled the strange character where there
should be a ' character.

EXPECTED RESULT
See one of the attachments for the HTML email rendered correctly in gmail.
