---------------------------

Hello,
this bug is closed but I'm also having that issue in 1.2 when exporting to csv 
file. The JSP page has a UTF-8 encoding and characters with accents are all 
displayed ok. When I export to csv, the response has a "Content-Type: 
text/csv;charset=ISO-8859-1
". The result file is then not displayed correctly on Linux.


> Excel and Text exports use Windows Latin-1 encoding

> Data coming out of my UTF-8 format Postgres database appears correctly in

> After some exploration, I determined that this is due to the file encoding

> little-endian UCS2 encoding. 
> For text files, it seems to  me that UTF-8 would be the the most platform and 
> language agnostic encoding to use.
