Composer inserts characters & symbols display OK when preparing html

Looks OK in View/ Preview. In View/ html, the actual symbol seems to
be inserted rather than an html code for the symbol.
Your code specifies Windows-1252, but SeaMonkey tries to display it as
Unicode (UTF-8). If I manually select Windows-1251 or Windows-1252, the
page displays correctly. I wonder why SeaMonkey isn't obeying your spec.
The spec appears to be well-formed:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
(The following may be a separate problem?)
A page originally prepared in Mozilla Composer in 2001, with
copyright symbols added in reloads every year. This last year it was
not possible to directly insert a copyright symbol for 2013 - I had
to cut-&-paste. Now, it appears in my Firefox browser that all the
copyright symbols (and an accent-'e') have reverted to '<?>' (Unknown
character?).

Same thing here.
It doesn't seem to matter if I turn auto-detect on or off, it always
chooses Unicode (UTF-8) for these pages. I have checked my prefs and I
don't force it to do so.
