When I type a single-quote (apostrophe) character when composing mail, the first key press gives me nothing, then pressing it again gives me an acute accent character, like this ´. The double-key press makes it seem like I´m in some sort of character composing mode without wanting to be. I´ve checked my language settings in Evolution and KDE, and checked my keyboard type. I´m set to American English for all with UTF-8 character encoding. In fact, as soon as I type the word with the acute in it, the spell checker wants to fix it, and does it properly (replaces it to a word with an apostrophe). Note that there are two offending words in this paragraph. I have a Microsoft Natural keyboard and am running an up-to-date Fedora Core 3 on i686, KDE 3.3 and Evolution 2.0.2. If anyone can help, please let me know.
The problem may be that you are in Evil HTML Mode: Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8 In text mode, single-quotes are just that: plain old ASCII.
