Content-Type: text/plain; charset="ISO-8859-1"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

Also note that mixing ISO-8859-1 and UTF-8 in html pages,javascript pages=20
and css pages
is bad. Internet explorer assumes for example that if the html page is=20
UTF-8 that all javascript pages
referenced from that page are also UTF-8. The key do successfully mix=20
different character set is to=20
always set the charset when referencing other text files, for example:

<link rel=3D"stylesheet" type=3D"text/css" href=3D"my=5Fcss.css"=20
charset=3D"ISO-8859-1">
<script language=3D"JavaScript" src=3D"my=5Fjavascript.js"=20
charset=3D"ISO-8859-1"></script>

If your application uses international character sest it is best to use=20
UTF-8 consistently
throughout your web application.

Perhaps if you could post the head of the the html generated that is=20
giving you the error.
We could see what is wrong.
