Did your original message have "left" and "right" quotation marks?
(there ain't no sech thing in ASCII)
If YOUR software supports them, then the same codes that your software
uses for them will show up as something else in other software. You might
not even have asked for such, but some mail clients "do you favors", and
convert double quotes into "left double quote" and "right double
quote",
which are then incomprehensible to the next software down the line, and
it'll misinterpret them into something bizarre, such as superscript 2 and
3.
