Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 282908

(MailNews Core :: Feed Reader, defect)

Description

[Chris Beck]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.7) Gecko/20060909 Firefox/1.5.0.7
Build Identifier: version 1.5.0.7 (20060909)

Regardless of whether I set my options for incoming mail to UTF8, Windows-1252, or ISO-8859-1, and override message fonts or not, and regardless of display font chosen - when I read RSS messages (in original html mode) many special characters are displayed only as the question-mark-in-a-black-diamond glyph.  The same page displays fine in Firefox

Non ascii characters are displayed incorrectly

Expected Results:

Appears to be a dupe of bug 282908 -- the site does not provide encoding information, and TB always falls back to UTF-8.
