This happens if I use the new "save" feature in a forum posting. Should this be moved to the forum area?

No, it's definitely a portfolio problem.

The plugin question relates to the portfolio plugins - at the moment in HEAD, there are portfolio plugins for 'file download','mahara', and 'box.net'. I guess maybe you're using file download.

Do you end up with a zip file to download or an individual file?

I think the problem is that because the HTML includes only a snippet, rather than the full <html> information, the encoding is being missed.

It's the file download. It create a html file. You can see it in the last line

example:

<br /><br /><table border="0" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0" class="forumpost"><tr class="header"><td></td><td class="topic starter"><div class="subject">test</div><div class="author">by Ralf Hilgenstock - Freitag, 15 August 2008, 10:43 </div></td></tr><tr><td class="left side" valign="top"></td><td class="content"><p>t</p></td></tr></table>

<br /><br /><table border="0" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0" class="forumpost"><tr class="header"><td></td><td class="topic"><div class="subject">Re: test</div><div class="author">by Ralf Hilgenstock - Donnerstag, 9 Oktober 2008, 08:50 </div></td></tr><tr><td class="left side" valign="top"></td><td class="content"><p>über den wolken</p></td></tr></table>

This HTML format thing is a bit of a problem actually. I will need to ask Martin what the best thing to do is - maybe it is required to wrap the exported content in <html> and add <head> with enctype information, but then that's problematic to render in different places that are just expecting a snippet of HTML. Also different export targets may have different requirements (html, xhtml, xhtml strict).
