Message-hook problem



I've wrestled with this one for a few days and I'm not getting anywhere.
It should be simple (and probably is!) but I'm not seeing it.

I've got a correspondent whose version of Entourage is sending oddly
broken messages. When she types an apostrophe, MS converts it to a curly one. That's correctly rendered in the text/html version of the message. But in the text/plain portion, the same character is coded as a 0xb9 - a superscript 1. And that's what mutt displays.

Not the end of the world - I can fix it easily enough in a reply with a
vim mapping. But it's annoying and I'd like to fix the display.
I tried this message-hook:
message-hook "~f \"her@ddress\"" \ "set display_filter='tr \\\\271  \\\\047'"

The hook starts off out right - it fires on her emails and attempts the
replacement at the right spot. But the replacement isn't what I'm
looking for:

"
Who\302's coming? Are you bringing a friend? "

I can't figure out where the \302 is coming from. I'm on a Mac (10.3.9);

Can somebody tell me what I'm missing?
