I just noticed something a bit odd. I sent someone a PM containing the text
That group is shown as "public"
Both in the preview and in my Sent folder, that text appeared normally. When the addressee replied, though, the text above was in a quote box and the doublequotes were rendered like this:
That group is shown as &quot ;public&quot ;
(I'm deliberately inserting a space between the &quot and the semicolon to make sure my browser doesn't treat those characters as HTML here.)

When I try it here I get:

That would mean that coding in the bulletin board software was set differently for the board and for private messages with quoted text. I'm no expert on this, but I know some coding was either left out, added, or overridden by other code.
