Problem with ISO-8859-1 charset

[cafedo]

I've done a recipe that download news from yahoo fees rss (Italy version).
It looks great on my kindle after an advanced scripting using calibre, but i've got a problem: if you look at the html of this example page
http://it.notizie.yahoo.com/35/20110...o-5101f32.html
you will found that the charset is "charset=ISO-8859-1".
So in my recipe I've added the script <encoding = 'iso-8859-1'>, but there are some error in characters, for example the string in the page "all’uscita" is translated to "all?uscita"; i also tried to use the scripts <encoding = 'utf8'>, <encoding = 'utf-8'> or to not insert the script <encoding> but the result is the same.
What encoding I've to use?

Could you help me please?
Thanks in advance.

Wait a moment...

Now I've tried to use the encoding 'cp1252' and it seems that it has resolved my problem..

Ok now the conversione with the GUI of calibre work, but if i try to do a conversion via MSDOS (I use windows versione of Calibre on Windows 7 SO) trought the command:

ebook-convert.exe myRecipe.recipe converted.mobi

program gives me this error:

1% Conversione dell'input in HTML...
InputFormatPlugin: Recipe Input running

and the conversion is stopped..
It's seem like that encoding rule 'cp1252' in recipe breaks something in ebook-convert.exe command.
Coul you help me please?

you need to ensure that your .recipe file is saved in utf-8 encoding

Thanks!
PsPad by default saves file in ANSI format; in utf8 works!
