I'm pretty sure that your source file's encoding is incorrect, because
in the UTF-8 version, the characters aren't even contained in the HTTP
response; the Content-Length is significantly less as well.

I also wouldn't be using XHTML for an encoding test, because a 10
minute experiment shows that both Firefox and IE aren't up to the task,
yet (or I did something very stupid).

Feel free to send me your project files and I'll investigate.

Cheers,

I'll send you both file/web.config sets.
They are identical except for the file encoding.

I mailed them last night at 7 to joergjooss.de ( the news-reply alias ).

I haven't received a notice of refusal or problem.

Check your spam strap and/or attachment filter
and let me know if I should resend to the same
or to a different address.

Sorry for the previous message.

SMG, if you think I will individually mail sets of files
to everybody who reads this newsgroup, especially
someone with a fake address, either you're nuts,
or your sense of humor is rusty.

Thanks for wasting my time.

Note that do I have a real job and am not being paid by MS for one hour
response times

I'll reply by mail, and we'll post the solution once we're there.

heh, heh...

I actually was posting to somebody else's
idea of a joke, by mistake, and not to you.

I'll be looking forward to getting this puzzle solved.

Joerg and I are working on a solution offline.

We are very close to a solution right now.
As soon as we have one, we'll post it here.
