MS IE will ignore the headers and attempt to "guess" the charset otherwise, based on some funky algorithm they've made up to compare the bytes in the HTML to what they "expect" for any given charset, and you'll get weird and confusing cases when the same "page" won't be UTF-8 just because the data within it suddenly tips over their count-point of what "should" be in a UTF-8 or Latin-1 document.
