https://www.dbvis.com/thetable/why-are-they-called-bugs/#:~:text=The%20term%20%22computer%20bug%22%20originated,lodged%20in%20the%20machine%27s%20hardware.

The term "computer bug" originated from a real-life insect. The first recorded instance of a bug causing a technical malfunction occurred in 1947 when engineers working on the Mark II Aiken Relay Calculator, an early computer at Harvard University, found a moth lodged in the machine's hardware. This moth was causing an electrical fault, disrupting the system's normal operations.

When sending a DU email.

Title contains a quote that contains "opening and closing" quotation marks.

When I preview the message, the entire title appears as originally written in the preview BUT the title in the editing window below is truncated at the first quotation mark.

When I preview the message again, the title in the preview is now truncated.

Using Safari 17.0 on a OS 12.7 MacBook Pro.
