I didn't explain myself very well, sorry. Befow is a line
from od -c on the index.html file. I'm not sure how this
will be rendered in the different mailers, but in mutt with
nvi, the "B" is surrounded by two iso8859-1 characters.
In mozilla, same way. It is meant to be `B'. I've got over
28 files with what should be apostrophes and bcktcks rendered
this way. putchar() outputs these characters in 8859 form
--as characters. printf("0%o", ch); gives me their octal
values. But trying to catch them with getchar() and it
fails. gcc says that '\0325' is a dounle-wide.
Maybe "od -c" is seeing this file as 16-bit characters...
