Magpie and CMSMS entities issue

Has anybody every experienced issues with Magpie and CMSMS?  I have a feed that I'm trying to parse and display on my site that correctly displays entities on a seperate web page on my server.  The moment I try to parse it inside of CMSMS either through a user defined tag or creating an extfile tag and just including the web page, the entities show up as question marks (for example what should be – turns into a ?).

CMSMS claims to be displaying UTF-8, as does the feed I'm hitting but something obviously is going wrong when the content is attempting to be displayed inside of CMSMS (like I said everything displays fine on a PHP page on the same server).  I was going to give lastRSS a shot but just wanted to see if anybody had similar issues before.

do you have same issues when using RSS2HTML module instead of your own script?

Never knew that module existed!

Let me give it a shot.

Oddly enough the module works.

Still puzzled as to why an include wouldn't display the entities the same as they are generated if you go straight to the include page.
