[users@httpd] setting charset for a static file

Hi all.

I'm in trouble with charsets.
When asked for a static html file, where does Apache take charset 
from? I suppose it gets it from locale, right?

My situation is as follows: my server has english locale, and I can't 
affect it.  But I have an html file in cyrillic (koi8-r) encoding. 
How can I tell Apache to send proper Content-type header for this 
file?

As a workaround, I tried META tag, but it doesn't work, at least for 
Opera. As I understand, it shouldn't work, because a browser should 
prefer http header to META tag.

Apache 1.3.26 / Debian, if it woes matter.

Thanks in advance,

	Sergey.
