  Thanks to you both. I've never seen anything like this and
I don't think I ever would have guessed it. You've saved me
a lot of hair pulling. 25 BC, for instance, should just write
as % and 1/4 sign in English ANSI. Notepad will do that. Though
I see in the page code that it's not actually UTF-8. Rather
it's inserted as &#9660; The bytes in the file are also that. All
ASCII range. Apparently IE is sending the converted version
and Textstream is balking at it. Which implies TS recognizes
UTF-8 but won't handle it! I suspect this may be yet another
child safety feature added by the scrrun authors.

  I realize now that some time ago I wrote a conversion script
that loads HTML into IE, sets the document.charset to UTF-8,
then uses ADODB.Stream to convert it to windows-1252. Maybe
I'll play around with that and see what I get.
