Weird Character Mapping on Evolution on F11 Preview

All:
Characters in certain messages I receive (example is subscription mail
from Moody's Bible Institute) have special characters that are not
displaying correctly.
Instead of showing the character (usually commas, apostrophes, and
single / double quotes), it shows a small square box with what appears
to be a hex code inside of it. I'm assuming that this is Evolution's way
of saying, "I give up - since I don't know how to display this
character, I'm going to display the hex code for this character
instead."
The strange part is not not every message does this. I get others with
things like copyright symbols and other special characters just fine.
I've tried changing the character mapping in Evolution to various
alternatives - the default is to use UTF-8. No luck.
Anyone else seeing this or have a way to fix?
Cheers,
Chris
