First up, this is probably an exceptionally stupid question and for
that I apologise.  I'm new to Seamonkey Composer  however and I just
can't understand why I'm having trouble adding say© in HTML
source view and getting it to STAY when I hit 'Save'.  When I do save
the document, it reverts in the HTML Source to the copyright symbol.
Where's the sense in that? The whole point of manually editing the
HTML Source code is that *I* want to dictate what the code should be?

Am I missing a setting in preferences or something or will this always
be a problem with using Seamonkey to edit HTML? :-(

I just tried, and for me (SM2.2, MacOS X10.6, German locale) it works:

- I enter "©" in the source view.
- Upon saving, it automatically switches to normal view.
  Here it shows "©".
- Going back to source view, it's still "©".

I tried this repeatedly, still works.

BTW - if I type "&copy" in normal/tag view, I get "©" in source view, as you would expect.

In Preferences -> Composer there is an option to retain source formatting upon saving. It's off for me, but I remember sometimes being annoyed by that function (rare user of composer, not really the last years for own writing - just for editing). Maybe this might help you.
(For arcane reasons, since I have it off - but might be worth the attempt.)

Otherwise I checked about:config for search string: "editor". I got only defaults except paths/... and 1 option which is related to "<p>" insertion on "<CR>".
So, I'd expect this to be the same for you?

Just speculating - could this be "font encoding" related?
My version chooses "charset=ISO-8859-1" as default.
