I get the digest of the group once or twice a day as traffic warrants, and
I read it on the Google gmail web page on Google Chrome as the browser.

I notice certain posters, and I hate to single out anyone but for
instance Nigel
Redmon, often become quite hard to read with all apostrophes turned to
about ?what you can get away with?, not about precision. First, it?s
frequency

Am I the only one with this problem, and is there a setting I should use to
take care of it?

This would be a character encoding problem, and I don't know of any
setting
that you could use to take care of it. I don't see that problem, which is
surprising, because I use a most ancient email client and plain text (not
HTML) mode. In the particular example given here, Nigel's message appears
to
be using the UTF-8 encoding, allowing anything UTF-8 aware to render
typographically correct quotation characters.
But... I don't subscribe to the digest version of the list. I wonder if
the
digest version of the list simply munges together all the messages, with
all
their potentially disparate character encodings and declares it all to be
something as basic as US-ASCII. That would certainly explain the symptoms
here.
