Hm. Note that the header says of itself that it's encoded in utf-8. I
don't know whether it's relevant.

If Emacs honors the header above, then this won't work: Octal 344 is an
a-with-dieresis, but in iso 8859-1 encoding, not utf-8.

I'd say Firefox is right on this one ;-)

Seriously: you can force the browser to assume an encoding, so what the
browser shows depends on settings which may vary from time to time. On
Firefox, it's under View -> Character Encoding. No idea about IE (and
I'm glad not to know ;-).

Notepad uses whatever encoding its font has; i guess an 8-bit fixed
encoding.

You may try two things: changing the utf-8 in the header to iso-8859-1
or (better) insert your a-dieresis as an utf8-encoded char.
