to make this messed up apostophe thing come to an end, here's my part of the story.
i don't use a mail client that uses microsoft word as text editor, and i didn't use the key right next to the <enter> key. what i
used instead is the apostrophe that can be found right beside the <backspace key> on german keyboards (since i come from austria
this shouldn't sound too oddly). and yes, it is represented by ASCII B4h. so to all klingons out there, using german key mappings:
do not use this type of apostrophe key :-)
lots of words for ..., well. :-)
