Chotto shitsurei ja nai ja na~~i?!  ZAN-NEN!!  EUC-JP enforces use of
keigo according to RFC 50000.<wink>

Since downloading to my host and reading it as a file works correctly,
I suspect that your server is sending an HTTP content-type header
which sets the encoding to ISO-8859-1 (that's what PageInfo---under
"Tools" rather than "View", which is unintuitive to me---in Firefox
tells me, anyway).  It used to be that the meta http-equiv
content-type attribute won, but apparently (at least for some
browsers) it doesn't any more.  Safari (on the Mac) also loses, so I
guess the RFCs now say the HTTP header wins (both Moz-derived browsers
and Safari are pretty good about RFC conformance).
