nsHTMLContentSinkStream used to have a routine called UnicodeToEntity, which was
called by nsHTMLContentSinkStream::UnicodeToHTMLString.  That was replaced in
version 3.33 when EncodeToBuffer (which doesn't do the same thing) was added.
I'm still trying to track down why UnicodeToEntity was removed then, and if this
code was expected to live in the unicode encoder (which isn't always
initialized).

This bug is at risk of slipping to M8 since it looks like there's a tangled web
of dependencies that no one person really understands.

Fixed -- the entities should show up now.

** Checked with 6/18/99 Win32 build **

I have checked a number of key characters in Latin 1 8-bit
range and they are now all going out in HTML entities in
body. This is the desired result.
The testing was limited to Windows and not exhaustive but
entities are now generated.
If there are specific failures, we'll file them as separate bugs
later.

Marking the fix verified.
