Do those browsers remember what setting to use for each page and/or
server? If not, then this isn't the case. Same page, different
servers, different results.

Stuck it! It was MIME type definitions on one of the servers. Thanks!

That was it! Trevor nailed it. I just looked at the MIME Types on
both servers, and on the public (isn't that always the case?) box I
had:

..asp text/html;charset=utf-8
..htm text/html;charset=iso-8859-1

Where as the internal box left them both undefined. <groan>

So, is there a lesson here? Assuming a guy actually goes to the
trouble of putting the metatag in there, isn't it smarter then to
remove the MIME definition? Thoughts, anyone?

Thanks!
