Odd issue with PMs on this site?

I've not found this by searching first, but I wanted to ask if anyone else has experienced apostrophes being replaced by slashes when sending PMs on this site?

If not, I can provide a screen shot, if necessary.  I'm using Firefox 3.5.5.

My apologies, but I am taking a break from accepting PM requests for support.  If I am not currently assisting you, please do not ask as long as this notice is posted.  Thank you.

I've seen something similar before, although never with Firefox.
Are you using the WYSIWYG editor? Does the same thing happen if you do/don't?

WYSIWYG is on, but here's what I'm noticing, H...  I only get the slashes if I preview the message first.  The slashes appear down in the typing box if I preview and, if I catch them, I can manage to manually take them all out, but previewing again puts them back.  Here's a screenshot:

I typed the same message and sent it to myself again without previewing it and the slashes weren't there.
