Yes, and if there was a [meta http-equiv="content-type"
content="text/html; charset=iso8859-1" /] tag in the HTML file's [head]
section, then (at least some versions of) IE will change the charset to
be windows-1252 when you save the document.  I wish I could find where I
originally read this, but I can't anymore.  :-(

It seemed to be that either Microsoft didn't want people using the ISO
charset name in their own pages (but rather windows-1252), or they're
just really, really stupid.

Moral of the story:  "File -> Save Page As" *CAN* modify the document!
