Except IE will *ignore* your HTTP headers. You need real HTTP headers for real browsers, *and* the META tag for IE, if you want your charset to be honored. IE will use some weird "guess" based on the bytes in the document to choose a charset. It mostly guesses right, except when it doesn't. For some reason, MSIE thinks HTML designers and META tags are absolutely believable, but headers are just silly things that are never reliable. This applies to everything from Content-type to charset. -- Some people have a "gift" link here. Know what I want?
