Removing \ in email text

I have a .php form which reads text inputs and then sends an email to me. If someone includes some thing like "I've" (without the quotes), it arrives as "I\'ve" (without the quotes).
Is there an easy way to correct this behaviour?

Re: Removing \ in email text

Hi Joanne,  thanks for the suggestion.
I found an alternative just five minutes ago:
replace mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
with
mail($to, $subject, stripslashes($message), $headers);
Seems to work fine.
