In fact the problem does seem to be at aioe.org.  I see this header:

    Content-Type: text/plain; charset=windows-1252; format=flowed

in your article when I view it on news.aioe.org, using both Gnus and
Thunderbird.

I'll post on aioe.news.helpdesk.  I'll also look into figuring out how
to persuade Gnus to recognize Windows-1252.
