    Question contact form bug? apostrophe in name sends \' to email recipient

    The "email ad poster" form contains fields for Name, Email, Subject, and Message.

    When I enter a name with an apostrophe, it turns into an escaped apostrophe in the email the ad poster receives. I think the theme is missing an "un-escape" operation somewhere.

    Here is a picture showing the form submission (excerpt) and the resulting email contents (excerpt).

    I don't know anyone named "John's Apostrophe," but I do know plenty of O'Connors, O'Briens, and some other names with apostrophes and other symbols in them.
