Is this a joke? Regardless, I'll say I think it is annoying when people use those characters in monospace text (which is the typical case for mailing list e-mails) when a normal straight ' or " will suffice. (This is probably annoying in general to me, as why have 2 special character sets when you can just have one? It is like those who still type 2 spaces after a full stop on a computer.) One thing is that I think some (bad) e-mail clients assume intentions and 'fix' the characters for the user and then mis-encode the non-rich version of the e-mail with those characters.
