Gah! Please fix your news client! (I see you're using slrn.) The \x92 
bytes found in your message are apostrophes (technically: right single 
quotation marks), encoded using the legacy Windows-1252 codec, but your 
news client is falsely advertising it as US-ASCII:

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

It's almost 2014, it is unspeakably poor form that an application is 
still making this mistake. Is there an updated version of slrn that fixes 
this? Can you manually force it to use UTF-8? Can you report this as a 
bug?

In case you aren't too clear on the concepts, here are two Must Read
