That appears to be a message that was sent using UTF-8 encoding, but did not specify UTF-8 in the message headers.  You can verify this using  
  View | Message Source
and looking for the Content-Type header.

As a workaround, when you view such a message:
  View | Character Encoding | UTF-8
You might also try turning on Autodetection, which should automatically select the correct encoding for messages that don't specify the encoding:
  View | Character Encoding | Autodetect | Universal
