When you drag or copy part of a webpage from Mozilla Firefox, the resulting html fragment doesn't contain a content-type/encoding meta tag (or even a head element), which is included in a typical complete web page (included in html fragments created by Internet Explorer).

The default encoding used by Internet Explorer (used internally by Ultra Recall) when none is specified is the default code page of the system. Since the saved html content is utf-8 but lacks an encoding meta-tag, the content will be rendered erroneously with the default codepage - causing the problem you describe.

The next release of Ultra Recall will workaround this issue by always ensuring that an encoding meta-tag is added to stored html fragments (ie. from Firefox) which eliminates this encoding ambiguity.
