They *ought* to be standardized.  e-umlaut should be &euml; and it is your
browser's responsibility to show it correctly.  If somebody uses a control
character in an HTML source, that's technically illegal, although most
browsers will make it look okay.  (Of course, my version of lynx showed no
special characters :-\

Anyway, if the people whose webpages have that problem don't use the legal
&whatever; characters then you should let them know?

>This one in western(latin)

This one left Outlook Express okay.  Your next post, in reply to vk's, was
in latin-2 again, and killed it once more :(
I think we have our problem!
