Youcef/Anmar - on all our mailing-list files, I'm setting the utf-8 meta directive, yet none of the browsers I use ever selects that encoding automatically for me.
A case in point, visit this link -
http://lists.arabeyes.org/archives/doc/2002/November/msg00000.html
and note that you will have to manually set the UTF-8 encoding on your browser. Where as if you go to,
http://www.geocities.com/shaikli/
its done automatically for you. You can note both sources and they contain exact data. I did some google'ing on this and I think APACHE somehow needs to support it or be told about this (beyond me), but it would be nice if these directives were abided by. It would also be nice if APACHE allowed us to have cgi-bin scripts in our public_html directories.
Salam.
