Notification email encoding issues

I have a topic titled “What’s your biggest challenge?” in the notification emails the apostrophe is converted into its numeric entity.

e.g. it becomes: What&#039 ;s your biggest challenge?

I mostly see this in the subject line, but sometimes in the body, and not just with an apostrophe but double-quotes, etc.

Perhaps the `html_entity_decode()` function will help.

@themightymo Thanks, do you have nay idea where I would use this, i.e. what code to change?

I am out of my element here, but I will try to help.

If you can find the function that is sending the emails, you can likely add the `html_entity_decode()` to whatever is returned by that function.

I think we have a bug report for this issue, but I don’t think anyone’s investigated a fix yet.
