Netscape Communicator does it the same way, and Outlook Express as well (IIRC). Don't know why though. Maybe to indicate a different charset than us-ascii/iso-8859-1*. But what I really don't understand is why toylet's Mozilla uses this charset at all, since he doesn't use any characters that justify the usage of a higher charset than use-ascii. Maybe he applied it default to all messages. Another weird thing I noticed is that when I read his postings a small window pops up for the fraction of a second. Very weird. - Holger
