 WordPress sends e-mail as plain text (as far as I know), and therefore
 special characters should not be encoded as HTML entities, but displayed
 as-is.

 A French user has [http://www.wordpress-
 fr.net/support/viewtopic.php?pid=158321#p158321 recently reported] that WP
 does encode at least one character: the straight apostrophe ('). My guess
 is that it is to prevent any breakage further down the road, but in this
 case it makes the string hard to read.
