Count yourself lucky. I usually have great success with .lit files but there are plenty of garbage files out there in .lit format.

This is a character encoding problem that has to be adjusted in a plugin prior to adding the book. Read this section of the FAQ. Calibre attempts to figure out the proper encoding of a html file but sometimes you have to enter the encoding into the plugin manually, then re-add the html to calibre (see attached).

Encoding you might try cp1252, cp1251, latin1, iso-8859-1, utf-8.
