Problem displaying Single Quote / Apostrophe in Thunderbird??
My daily email from a major newspaper is full of crazy stuff like this:
Concussions won’t slow Broncos’ Welker down.
When I would like to see:
Concussions won't slow Broncos' Welker down.
Is there some sort of character set war going on?
Is the apostrophe such an exotic beast?
Is there some option I need to find and switch?

You have no less control over the source, however with an RSS feed you can validate the source (http://feedvalidator.org/) and tell the originator the validation errors. I am not an expert in rss feeds or XML, but I would guess that if the DTD (Document Type Declaration or DOCTYPE) was wrong or incomplete then the client wouldn't know how to treat special character replacements like ’
It looks like only a handful of such replacements do not need to be specifically declared:
http://feedvalidator.org/docs/error/UndefinedNamedEntity.html
and ’ is not one of them, so it would have to be declared
