According to wikipedia (see
ISO-8859-1 and
Windows-1252) webpages and emails are commonly mislabeled with the encoding ISO-8859-1 when it should be Windows-1252. Most web browsers and email clients will treat this encoding as Windows-1252. This practice is so prevalent that it became part of the HTML5 specification. So any webpage which claims to be encoded with ISO-8859-1 should be treated as being encoded with Windows-1252.
Code:
encoding = 'windows-1252'
