Possibly with HTML. I don't think there is an official way to say
what encoding is being used when replying via the web page.

Yahoo groups web pages don't specify an encoding. Even if they did, I
don't think that different sections in a page can have different
encodings. There would be a similar problem with daily digests - they
can consist of messages with different encodings.

For that reason, I try to remember to identify the encoding if I stray
beyond Latin-1 in a Yahoo groups post.

Richard.
