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.
