The page needs to be served with an HTTP Content-Type header that specifies ISO-8859-1 (or ISO-8859-15), like Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-15 or the page needs a meta tag like this one: <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-15"> Without one of these, browsers have to either guess or just use their defaults, which for a lot of users will lead to the kind of display in Andrea's link [2] above. Urgh, I've just realized the web site owner isn't actually reading this thread. Oh, well, I've typed it now -- and Andrea, NoOp's suggestion to switch your views should work fine, though the problem is with the site itself and users should never have to monkey with those settings. -- »Q« /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign \ / against html e-mail X <http://asciiribbon.org/> / \ _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
