[opencms-dev] Special Character Problem

[Fred Marquis]

I made some more testing and I found out:
When I enter a ampersand & or the greater than > 
character it is saved correctly as &amp or &gt
But the umlauts are still saved as ä and not as &auml.

Is this a problem of the MSHTML editor component? 
Or is it a configuration problem?

thanks for your help
Fred Marquis
