Have a look at
http://www.smfr.org/mtnw/docs/Mime.h...sage_with_MIME
http://www.smfr.org/mtnw/docs/TextEncoding.html
if you want to include non-ASCII characters in your postings.

Internet Explorer will happily ignore the content-type
if only the “extension” is .html .

Okay, but IE still is not handling xhtml, this just should how badly
broken IE is and parses xhtml as bad html... All this does is give the
clueless that they can use xhtml because their page "display" in the IE
browser.

If you send text/html, that should show how badly broken *all* UAs are,
parsing supposed SGML as arbitrary tag salad.

Looks good now! But ISO-8859-1 contains no curly quotation marks.

> You saying my quote marks are not coming out right?

Yes. Here are some Latin-1 characters that usually make trouble
in Macintosh clients:

¹ superscript 1 ¼ fraction 1/4 Ð D stroke ð d stroke
² superscript 2 ½ fraction 1/2 Þ Thorn þ thorn
³ superscript 3 ¾ fraction 3/4 Ý Y acute ý y acute
× multiply sign ¦ broken bar

“ double quotation mark 66
” double quotation mark 99
‘ single quotation mark 6
