Hello,
I have just downloaded two websites with French and English equivalents.
The first site, www.conservative.ca, downloaded with French accents.
The second site, www.liberal.ca, downloaded with symbols replacing the French accents. I checked the code and both websites used the accents themselves in the coding.
Any thoughts about why the two sites yield different results?

p.s. Here`s a sample of the coding from the second site:

I think, there is an easy way to solve this. When you browse the site offline, right-click in the middle of the page and choose Encoding > Western European (Windows or ISO).
Does this help?

Hello Oleg,
I tried to make the change to the Western European encoding as you recommended in the browser; however, the only choice that worked was Unicode.
Thanks,

Hello Oleg,
I guess I have another question. Is there anyway that I can do a download with Unicode selected so that it will display correctly in the browser? Just wondering.
Thanks,

Well, the encoding is detected by the browser automatically. Unfortunately, I have no idea on how to automate this in Offline Explorer. Sorry.

Oleg.
Oh well. Thanks for giving it some thought.

I notice something different on the www.liberal.ca site.
Their is no line like the following
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
Instead they are using an HTTP Response Header like
Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8

Thanks, that should make it easier to identify in the future.

The http://www.liberal.ca/ site works better with OE, because Offline Explorer records the exact MIME type of the file it saves and then uses the content type to display the page in the browser.
