Damn! This time it is making a difference :)  Thanks.

I tried setting this variable (without success) when I wrote to this list about
the evaluation-versus-load'ing oddity a while back:

 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.lisp.lib.tbnl.general/2523

I was also told:

 "As explained in the documentation, the special variable
 *HUNCHENTOOT-DEFAULT-EXTERNAL-FORMAT* is used when computing the /request/
 object.  As you said, it doesn't have an effect on the reply."

Hence I didn't try it again this time round.

If it's only used to compute the request object, why is it now helping with
(some of) my UTF-8 replies?
