backslashes introduced in email templates

Every time I use certain characters in email templates, fields, or field names, for example apostrophes, quotes, or backslashes, stray backslashes (a.k.a. control characters) get introduced. "Email's Title" becomes "Email\'s Title", etc.. I have learned to just avoid these characters in my emails and other areas, though it is quite inconvenient. Worse yet, every time I save the field, a new backslash is introduced, so I get strings like "Email\\\\\\'s Title".

Now, it seems like HTML entities like an & followed by #8217; (the code itself cant be typed directly here, because it gets converted) for a single apostrophe can be used as a workaround for the single quote, but must be entered in text mode; others don’t, including those based on straight ascii codes like ampersand + #039;. Sometimes these get replaced when I go from the text view to the visual view on the editor so then I am back to square one.

This only happens in PG. My regular post fields work fine, so I don’t think it is a TinyMCE problem.

Help.
