#23488: WordPress incorrectly escapes passwords when emailing to new users

 I created a new user account today whose password contained a single-quote
 ( ' ).  When the new user received the password it was escaped with a
 backslash ( \' ).  This caused him to be unable to log in, not knowing he
 should remove the backslash.

 Passwords sent to users should not be escaped.
