Odd control sequences?



I am a newbie mutt user.  Mostly satisfied with it, although I am puzzled by
the fact that some mail arrives with hard-to-read sequences of characters in
place of apostrophes and quotation marks and other punctuation marks.

It doesn't happen in all mail.  Some is quite readable plain text, in others
this irritating set of control codes or whatever they are bug the hell out
of me.

Can somebody explain what's going on here and how to fix it?
