A possibility is:

1) Outlook composes a message in some character set that supports 'right
single quote' as a fancy apostrophe.

2) The message is composed as HTML only - there are other possibilities,
but this is the simplest.

3) Mailman's content filtering accepts text/html anc
convert_html_to_plaintext is Yes.

4) The converted plain text is rendered as ascii and the fancy 'right
single quote' is rendered as '?'.

If this is the issue, you can set convert_html_to_plaintext to No to
avoid it.
