Milo: Apostrophe key giving me a-with-an-accent in nonHTML notes

when i write an email in normal HTML fashion, my apostrophe key works just
fine. But lately, if I'm responding to a non-HTML note, I get the
a-with-an-accent character instead. Then if I backspace once, it changes to
an apostrophe.

As I generally am not looking at the screen when I type, I have to go back
and fix each of these words. Pretty annoying.

This may be related to some work I was doing with Spanish typing where I set
up some auto-correct shortcut keys to put accents on letters, but I removed
all of those and the problem persists. Even then, it was the combo of
a + ' and e + '
etc that I was setting...never the apostrophe alone.

Thanks so much!

I figured it out. Somehow I had an autocorrect entry in Outlook that changed
apostrophe to that symbol. I have no idea why it only did that in nonHTML
notes, but at least it has stopped.

What I'D LOVE help understanding is why I had to hunt so hard to find this
note again. I searched on apostrope and found nothing. I searched on `Milo`
which is in the Subject line and found other notes, but not this one. I had
to page though all open postings to find this. There must be a better way.

Or, ideally, is there a way to see just the items that I have posted?
Any clues on this would be much appreciated!
