IE6 always chooses ISO encoding

[Ashley Dalton]

Every web page I bring up for some reason comes up with
Western European (ISO) encoding. I have to manually go in
on every page to the View/encoding drop down and choose
the Western European (Windows) option in order to view the
pages. I am in the USA, so I'm not sure if Western
European is the type of encoding I should be getting
anyway. This also causes emails with embedded pages to
display incorrectly in Outlook. How can I fix this so
that I can browse without having to reload every page?

A Web page may display an image as a red X, or a placeholder may appear in
place of the image.
Covers also this problem: Web page that is encoded for the Western European
(ISO) code page might not display any images:
