Mutiple file upload, Greek characters

I have two issues that I'd like some help with:

1) I have a created a form in which users should be able to upload documents. I checked the forum and realized that the default <input type="file"> element does not support mutiple uploads. So, I manually edited the exported html and added the "multiple" attribute to the tag and verified that the <form> tag includes the "multipart/form-data".
Although I can now select mutiple files, when I submit the form only one of the files is submitted (attached to the email and saved on the server). Why is that?

2) The form is in Greek. It displays fine on the browser, but when I view the source all the Greek characters have been replaced with entities, which makes it impossible to edit on an HTML editor. Is there something that can be done about it? Are you planning on releasing a fix?

Thanks a lot!

At this time the only way to grab multiple files is to put an upload element on your form for each one. If you want users to be able to upload 3 files then 3 upload elements will be needed. The other option is to build your own php script to process the data and replace the form builders with that.:)
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

Don't know what others are doing to edit forms in other languages but I suspect that a character set change would be needed but not totally sure. So your only seeing the problem when you open the form in the HTML editor?

Yes, only when I open the HTML in an editor or do a 'view source' from the browser.
I have attached the exported file so you can have a look (changed the extension to .txt so I can attach it).

I'm not sure which characters are wrong.I don't see anything strange but I don't know this language. Can you post a screen shot?

Here you go.
You can clearly see all the entities (in red)

Maybe Inger can shed some light on this but it probably has something to do with the character set or maybe a setting that can be adjusted in the editor.:)
