Apostrophes in Forum Title are encoded within the Email Subject and Content

[garrett-eclipse]

Hello,

I've found with forum posts that have an apostrophe in the title are encoded within the auto-generated email.

For example this post;
​https://wordpress.org/support/topic/whats-new-in-216?replies=2#post-8077166

Has the title - What's new in 2.1.6

The Email generated has the subject - What's new in 2.1.6.

Here's the contents of the email;

This should be a simple enough fix, and would improve readability for those receiving forum notification emails greatly.

This was fixed in bbPress upstream in ​#bbpress2865

It should be available to dotorg on the next bbPress deploy
