Sam Ruby gives the low-down on character encoding
Boy, this article would have come in handy 2 years ago. Pity Sam Ruby only wrote it a couple of days ago.
we have a page which is correctly encoded as utf-8. Mozilla ignores this as well as the declaration inside the body that this is so. Instead it choses to respect the HTTP header, which it finds to be incorrect, so it compensates by introducing a windows specific encoding.
