It's this part:
<html lang="en"><head><META http-equiv="Content-Type"
content="text/html; charset=utf-16"><font face="calibri"><title>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
UTF-16 encodes each character below 0x10000 with 2 bytes, so you get
this gibberish if you try to display plain ASCII text as if it were
UTF-16.
This is not a bug.
