just wondering: how are you writing your mails? Just in mail.app or in txtmate?
I write mostly in Mail. Only if I need to format text (like indented quotes) or when I have to use snippets (for all my canned support replies ;) ) do I switch to TextMate.
You are using typographic “” instead of "" -- any automatism there?
No, I just started using them, and now I can’t stop…
And any idea how to get the correct German versions of these: „“?
If you want to have something like SmartyPants.pl then you can just modify the script, or maybe more elegant, just add this to the command: |perl -pe 's/“/„/g; s/”/“/g'
That way, SmartyPants.pl will stay untouched and will do the job of finding where to insert quotes. Oh… SmartyPants.pl inserts entities instead of actual characters, so the subst. above would be on these.
