Some quotation marks and apostrophes are displayed as
question-marks-within-black-diamonds.  This happens on a number of pages - the
ones listed here is just the most recent.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Go to affected web page
2.
3.
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.8b3) Gecko/20050711 SeaMonkey/1.0a

seems to be a Tech Evangelism bug.
The page doesn´t specify a character encoding, if Autodetect finds
Western(Windows-1252) all is well. 
When I set View->Character Encoding->Unicode(UTF-8) I see the questionmarks the
reporter sees.

Workaround: disable Autodetect, set View->Character Encoding->to
Western(Windows-1252) or Western(ISO-8859-1)
