There are legitimate uses of numeric entities, so I think the above code is a bit too strong. There was some code in the CVS (comments-functions.php?) that treated encoded *low* ASCII as a spam signature. Higher entities are left alone, as they should be.

Read this if your index.php is UTF-8 encoded:

Having just solved the exact problem but using a solution not mentioned here, I thought I’d jot down the solution for posterity ?? I use WP 1.2.1.

Make sure your text editor is not writing BOM header to your UTF-8 file! For example, in a power editor like UltraEdit, the configuration setting lets you turn this feature on or off.

After reconverting my index.php to UTF-8 without BOM header, the annoying “header already sent” was gone. Hurray!

Glad to know I’m not the only one who has a problem with “teaser” vs. “excerpt”. In my opinion an excerpt does not necessarily tease but …never mind.

Having used WP (1.2.1) for two weeks now, I just now noticed this problem (I use Textile 2). Will there be an official fix anytime soon?
