Yes, you are exactly correct. I had an Idea that it may be an encoding


issue, but this is the first time I have seen IE encoding fail when


using 'Auto-Select'.



If the html does not explicitly specify the encoding, it appears that


the `Auto Select` feature in IE will auto set to UTF-7 and the page


dies miserably.



When I manually set the encoding to Western European, the page worked


fine.



I'll just have to hack up our n-tier vendors web app to ensure the


encoding is explicit on our pages. I will do some tests.



Thanks!
