My guess is that the text is encoded as UTF-8 but
the declared encoding is Windows-1252. The
Correct. My mailer is set to send mail in UTF-8. UTF-8 and to lesser extent
UTF-16, are widely used message encoding formats for non-English languages on
the web. The Internet mail standard since 1999 specifies that all mailers must
support decoding UTF-8. UTF-8 includes the 7-bit ASCII character set so I
don’t understand why the apostrophe is an issue. If there were to be issues it
would be characters like the half, quarter or three quarter characters.

Ps. I don’t know where the 7bit Windows-1252 character declaration would come
from because that shouldn’t be coming from me. I’ll look at the mail header
after I send the message to make sure.
