So it's not Kmail, it's some weird mail software on the other side. This is a bit strange as the message was posted on a Linux mailing list, so most likely originated as UTF-8? Perhaps, though, it was mangled by some intermediate non-Linux server?
SMTP servers don't mangle mail except to add headers at the beginning.
The text was probably copy-pasted from a word-processor that auto-corrected ASCII single quote to a unicode right single quotation mark:

Nevertheless that character displays correctly in my KMail.
If you want to pursue this further please screenshot your Settings / Configure KMail / Appearance / Fonts / Message Body.
