[OS X TeX] htlatex, encoding and accented characters

Try  the command line

   mk4ht uxhlatex filename

or

   htlatex filename "html,uni-html4" " -cmozhtf" 

If neither works, can you show a miniature sample latex file, the .log
file created during the compilation, and the messages issued by
tex4ht.c onto the console.  If possible, place the above on the web
and just submit a pointer.
