Yes, though I can't find the link at this instant.  Someone happened to
be corresponding with me about it yesterday.  He fixed it by adding the
following php code.   (I don't know php, and at present, I'm waiting for
confirmation from him, as to my <very limited> knowledge, it seems as if
he mistyped.  He also said that he "put it at the top".  Again, not
knowing php, I don't know if this means above the <head> tag or not.

<?
header('Content-type: text/html; charset=UTF-8');
?>

To my (again very limited) understanding of php, I suspect that the
first line should be <?php  rather than just a question mark, and I'm
also not sure if it was his typing or my emailer that put the <? and
?> on separate lines, as every other example that I remember seeing
would have it on the same line as the actual code.

Ah, here's the explanation of why the META tags might not be working.

Hope this helps.
