No, I can't. Veryfying the encoding is only possible in some specific cases or when making assumptions.
Try this one for a change:

Yes, I saw you attempts to throw sand in the gearbox.

Yes, there is, LATIN-1 is mentioned in FTS-5003.

LATIN1 is not a character encoding scheme that is "current practise" in Fidonet.

The flaw is in the conversion that the webmaster od that site uses to convert Fidonet messages to html. It is not the problem of Fidonet, that he can't do it right.
