I think I remember that Microsoft has an article about one of these issues at http://support.microsoft.com , but it's my choice to not work too hard if there is a typographic error in a post. I don't mind a misspelling here and there, but when it comes to error messages, verbatim and no errors are best. Adding quotes works well since it distinguishes your writing from the PC error message.
