thanks for this hint. I added a custom template to my world outline
(following the screencast of today) and put this additional line in
the head of the HTML:

[code]
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=macintosh">
[/code]

(iso-8859-1 didn't work -- because that's the Windows encoding)

Now the german umlauts are correct within the browser but the text is
still scrambled within the OPML file on S3(see
<http://static.scripting.com/tulsa/wo/kantel/2012/06/21/archive001.opml>)
because there is still the wrong encoding:

[code]
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
[/code]

I need a place where I can change the template for OPML. ;o)

(In general in my opinion it would be better if the OPML Editor is
writing UTF-8 by default on both platforms. But I think that would be
a very hard work.)

wkr (and again excuse my bad (d)english)
