"Unicode" is not a valid IANA registered charset name.  It should  
probably be "utf-8".  See  
<http://www.iana.org/assignments/character-sets> for the complete  
list.  If you want to get more info, save the part to a file and run
it  
through the validator at <http://validator.w3.org/>.

So the HTML body is broken (not a surprise, if you look at the 
creator
 
;-), and cannot be displayed properly.  You may be able to open it in 

Firefox (in the fault-tolerant "Quirks" mode), though, but GtkHtml  
doesn't usually.

Well, that's a relief. Failures? Let me count the ways .... :-)
