The \222 character (octal 222, decimal 146, U+0092) is not an apostrophe but a right single quote - and even then it's not a standard character but a Windows-specific one (the standard right single quote character is U+2019).
However, if the mail is actually coming in with a 'charset=' value that indicates its Windows-specific nature, then you should be able to convince mutt to translate it for display; I'll have to defer to the muttrc gurus for the specifics, though. > Many thanks > > Dean -- Mark REED | CNN Internet Technology 1 CNN Center Rm SW0831G | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Atlanta, GA 30348 USA | +1 404 827 4754 -- Why does New Jersey have more toxic waste dumps and California have more lawyers?
