Uhmmm, sorry - I had to put this in .htaccess to be flexible for
different hosts which required an "AllowOverride Indexes" - but now
it works - many thanks.

$ wget -S -O /dev/null http://debian-med.debian.net/tasks/index 2>&1| grep Content-Type
  Content-Type: text/html

$ wget -S -O /dev/null http://debian-med.alioth.debian.org/tasks/ 2>&1| grep Content-Type
  Content-Type: text/html

I guess in this case forcing UTF-8 makes sense, right?

Guessing from this experience I wonder if it makes sense to update your
page to advise users to verify that index pages should return

   Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8

and if this is not the case an explicite setting of AddDefaultCharset
would make sense.

Kind regards and many thanks for the quick help
