I've been aware of it but never remembered to bring it up. Replying to a PM with quotation marks in the subject causes anything in or after the quote marks to vanish from the subject.

The thing is, the actual reply area, where I type the reply, didn't show up. But I was using Internet Explorer at work (we're required to use it). Here at home, it works fine on Firefox other than the title getting cut off.
I assume making your site work with crappy IE isn't a high priority. :P

Bumping to see if this is still an issue.

The bug behaves somewhat differently - it's just the part in the subject within the quote marks that disappears.

I think it is fixed, if no please ask on Query Bugs.

I got a PM from someone I talk to on here that ended with quotation marks in the title. When I read it, the reply-to title had the entire quotation removed, and the actual part where I type my reply was missing.
I looked at the previous message, which didn't have the quotation marks in the title, and it worked normally.
Anyway, just a glitch you guys probably aren't aware of, so letting you know about it in the hopes it can be fixed. It's not a major thing, but it can still affect people who find themselves unable to reply to a message and wondering why.
