Ryan,

could you please try an upgrade to 11.22-1 from unstable? If that
doesn't help, please try to provide the additional information Gunnar
requested.

Cheers,
-Hilko

Please always upgrade to the most recent version before reporting bugs,
as described in the README. I do not really like to spend my time looking
for possible bugs that might have caused or affected a problem but have
already been fixed in the meantime.

In this case, it could be the bug in the default /etc/nail.rc which has
been fixed in 11.21 ("charsets" instead of "sendcharsets"). If so, please
exchange this file with the most recent version manually because it is
not overwritten by a later "make install". Then check that the "set" nail
command includes "utf-8" for the "sendcharsets" variable, e.g. as with
the current default 'sendcharsets="iso-8859-1,utf-8"'.

It probably was the <ʼ> character in the Windows-1252 encoding. What is
the value of the content-type header field of the original message?

Maybe, but what it sent violated the Internet message standards, so
recipients will usually not be able to read the character correctly.

How does the offending character look when nail prints it to your
terminal? It should be one of <ʼ> <?> 
<╴> (an apostrophe, a reversed
question mark, and some sort of question mark in inversed color). If
there appears an empty <> sequence in that list, your Unicode font
setup is incomplete. With a working font setup, you should be able
to see either the correct character or a substitute (in case of an
invalid MIME declaration).
