	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...
