User-Agent: RoundCube Webmail/0.1
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

AJAX (in IE) won't pick up the content-type from the HTML of XML file, but
will look at the charset of the http header Content-Type.

See also:

http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/2583

If you have a proxy in between, you can do it in the proxy code, otherwise
you can maybe use Apache to add a charset to the http headers.

Best regards,
Bart
