10713	Output encoding not set in fetch_feed	iansealy		"If using WP Super Cache (or a similar plugin) on a blog with a non-UTF-8 charset that has an RSS widget then the charset is incorrectly changed to UTF-8 by SimplePie.

The fix is to explictly set the encoding in fetch_feed before SimplePie sends any headers (which it only does if WP Super Cache is being used, since it checks if any headers have already been sent).

I've put this as low priority since I guess most blogs use UTF-8 and don't use WP Super Cache."	defect (bug)	new	low	Future Release	Feeds	2.8.4	normal		has-patch dev-feedback	scribu@… iansealy mdhansen@…
