Yahoo! is using UTF-8. When Yahoo! sucks in the headline from minyanville.com, Yahoo! should be converting the characters to UTF-8. Instead, Yahoo! is making garbage of them -- what shows up at Yahoo! is neither a proper UTF-8 nor a proper ISO-8859-1 representation of the quote marks. AFAIK, there's nothing you can do about this except wait for Yahoo! to possibly fix it someday. -- »Q« /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign \ / against html e-mail X <http://asciiribbon.org/> / \ _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
