Right single quote in ISO-8859-1 is ' ('27'x), not (dipthong AE, '92'X).

The header specified charset=ISO-8859-1; why would you expect a
MIME-capable[1] e-mail viewer to interpret '92'X as anything but the
8859-1 code point?

Know what happens when a busybody printer word wraps JCL?
[1] Without MIME anything greater than '7F'x would be invalid.
