RSS feed - not UTF-8 compliant

Character such as "é à ç î" are saved in the database and showed in the message board but screwed in the RSS feeding.

Those character are pretty essential for any non-english language.

There is an easy way to fix it, [code from RC2]

File RessFeed.vb line 417: in Public Shared Sub CreateRssFeed(ByVal RssFeed As InstantASP.Common.Business.RssFeed)

[code]Dim XmlTextWriter As System.Xml.XmlTextWriter = New System.Xml.XmlTextWriter(RssFeed.OutputStream, System.Text.Encoding.ASCII)[/code]

Should be written as

[code]Dim XmlTextWriter As System.Xml.XmlTextWriter = New System.Xml.XmlTextWriter(RssFeed.OutputStream, System.Text.Encoding.UTF8)
[/code]

and the RSS will display all accent properly.

Thanks.

ps. I love this editor ;)
