Even when checked in the advanced options tab, IE5.0 does not interpret
UTF-8 encoded URLs. That means that any URL with characters other than
those in the US ASCII table, is not recognized by the browser, which
responds with a "Page not found" error.

Try accesing http://www.teleton.com All those broken images contain URLs
with non-US characters (like accents). These images and their
corresponding hiperlinked pages exist. IE 4.0 and any other browser can
show them.

I already reported this problem to MS. Please help the international
online community by doing the same.

Just choose RightClic on text zone Encoding\More\Western European (Windows)
Page is NOT UTF-8 encoded!
