Subject: Re: Minor bug in the emails generated by elog. 

Apostrophes are encoded as "'" inside the CKEditor used by elog, which sents the raw HTML text as email notification. You can test this by pressing the "Source" button at the top left menu in the CKEditor, then you see it. In my mail program (both Apple Mail and Thunderbird) this HTML enocding is correctly shown as the original apostroph, so I suspect that your mail program has an issue interpreting HTML encodings.

In the emails generated by anyone making an entry in this log book, every apostrophe is followed by a semi-colon.  So the text "I don't think..."  appears in the email as "I don';t think...", and possibly that comment will appear in the email as "I don';;t think...." - not sure on the last bit.  It has been around in the past few versions of elog, but don't recall precisely when this started occurring.  It was fine back in February, with v2.9.2 (presumably) running.
