[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Thanks for the reply.

Among all the noise about curved quotes, I missed out the discussion about
text-quoting-style. I started paying attention to that only recently when
Paul reverted curved quote stuff in the documentation.

I should have looked at NEWS; sorry about that.

I got my answer; I need to set text-quoting-style to 'straight.

For reference,

(progn
  (message "text-quoting-style = default")
  (let ((text-quoting-style))
    (message "'Hey'")
    (message "`Hey'"))
  (message "text-quoting-style = curve")
  (let ((text-quoting-style 'curve))
    (message "'Hey'")
    (message "`Hey'"))
  (message "text-quoting-style = straight")
  (let ((text-quoting-style 'straight))
    (message "'Hey'")
    (message "`Hey'"))
  (message "text-quoting-style = grave")
  (let ((text-quoting-style 'grave))
    (message "'Hey'")
    (message "`Hey'")))

gives


text-quoting-style = default
’Hey’
‘Hey’
text-quoting-style = curve
’Hey’
‘Hey’
text-quoting-style = straight
'Hey' [2 times]
text-quoting-style = grave
'Hey'
`Hey'
