Definitely it should use utf-8. Tere is no way this'd work in iso-8859-1. I
only meant since it didn't seem to be iso in my case but rather utf-8 with a
wrong header, i expected it could have worked.

When you say "known bug", is there any place i can broswse those known bugs
so i don't ask the list if it is known?
