Mike,

The archives for the cc-es mailing list show accents, eñes and other special
characters brokenly:

https://lists.ibiblio.org/sympa/arc/cc-es/2006-December/001626.html

The reason is this:

The html in the document gives encoding as 8859-1...

<META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

While the server head information claims they are UTF-8...

kandinski@derive:~$ curl -I

Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8     <- *** VOILA! ***

What we see browsing the archives is the result of browsers trying to
interpret as UTF-8 special characters correctly codified as ISO-8859-1.

Thanks,
