Recently I switched one of my websites to UTF-8 character encoding
from iso-8859-1. Prior to me doing this, When I imported French text
into Contribute, the accented characters would be coded properly in
the background automatically by Contribute. Now, when I need it the
most, Contribute no longer does this. The only way to have "é" coded
as "é" is to insert the special character using Contribute's
"Insert special character" option. When pasting in a large document,
this will be almost impossible!

I know one solution is to change my encoding back to iso-8859-1 from
UTF-8, but I really don't want to have to do that.

Does anyone know a better solution that still leaves my users in
Contribute?

Thanks
