   I haven't tried. But setting "Content-Type: text/css; charset=koi8-r"
make Mozilla and M$IE apply stylesheets in funny ways. I spent many
hours trying to find why only part of my stylesheets are applied
(different parts in differetn browsers) and found that was due to
non-ascii charset. Returnin "Content-Type: text/css" without a charset
restores normal behaviour - stylesheets were applied as expected.
