This is highly unlikely, I'm using the same old package of binkd+hpt+ged just like your average fidonet point does, nothing exotic. I don't remember seeing qoutes that had been mangled in such a way. Could be some glitches in codepage translation on your end? Next day I'll do double-checking at work, to see if it looks any different in the news reader.
