I have this website:

Using seamonkey as my html editor, I have just noticed my charset has
changed to <meta content="text/html; charset=windows-1252" in the new
updates. My default is <meta content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1". A
random check of my html files on my harddrive indicates my files are
changed whenever I access them via seamonkey. This has happened sometime
in the last 2 weeks. There has been no change to the html files on the
web that are older than 2 weeks. I have no idea what charset is/means or
it's effect. When I save a file with charset=ISO-8859-1" it is
automatically changed to charset=windows-1252. I have no choice. WHY?????
Thanks, Gary
What version of SeaMonkey?
Version 2.16
Looking at the source code of a blank HTML page in Composer using SM
2.16.1, I see <meta content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"
http-equiv="Content-Type">
When I open a new page the charset is ISO-8859-1. However when I save it
the charset is automatically changed to windows-1252. I have no control
over how it is saved.
The charset tells a browser what character encoding you used to create
your web pages.

Have no idea what is causing yours to change.
My suggestion would be to stop using Composer, and switch to something
like BlueGriffon, or Bluefish.
