Actually, both IE5 and Mozilla will encode characters which aren't present in the charset of the page which contains the HTML form, as Unicode "entities" (e.g. &#blah;). <!-- Side node: In some ways, it's nice, since it "fixes" many broken web applications, which have ISO-8859-1 hardcoded into them. On the other hand, it's sad to know those web applications are suspectible for "cross-site scripting" attacks, since apparently they don't safely encode the user-given strings they output later to the HTML stream. --> To avoid this behavior, simply make this page, which contains the HTML form, in any Unicode encoding -- UTF-8, UTF-7 or UCS-2 (yuck!). ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
