<snip>the pages are being parsed by Lotus Domino, and are creating some
real garbage.
The site is in Japanese, and it doesnt work at all on the Mac.  Everything
shows up as junk codes instead of text. The english is showing up fine, but
the japanese part is showing up like
absolute trash.  So what I'm wondering is if there is any way to translate
that crap into
something that I can cut and paste?  Right now its showing up like:
&#20302;&#20385;&#26684; etc...
when it should be showing Japanese characters.

Well, I imagine that the encoding type is being written as if its english,
so the browsers think english is coming at them instead of japanese.
Domino has support for multiple languages.  Rather than assuming that
everything is 'crap' you should be able to get things configured correctly
so that the content renders nicely for both languages.  There are some
_major_ corporations that use Domino, so getting experience using this
'trash' can actually  earn you some good $$. ;)
Try looking here
http://www.notes.net/
The 'Notes Gold' forum is full of information.  A quick search for
'japanese and text' came up with the following articles:
http://www.notes.net/46dom.nsf/55c38d716d632d9b8525689b005ba1c0/2eadfc34e305833585256ac500652661?OpenDocument&Highlight=0,japanese,text

If the tip below doesn't work, let me know and I will see what other
resources I can come up with.

 In InternetExplorer: View - Encoding - Unicode

 Japanese characters are double-byte Unicode. You are probably seeing the
 single-byte ASCII characters. Watch out because Notes does not understand
 Unicode and may display carriage returns between the bytes of a single
 character.

 Try to force the character set by adding a META tag to the web page
 Header:
 <META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=ISO-2022-JP">

 Valid charsets (according to RFC1945) are
 "US-ASCII"
 "ISO-8859-1"
 "ISO-8859-2"
 "ISO-8859-3"
 "ISO-8859-4"
 "ISO-8859-5"
 "ISO-8859-6"
 "ISO-8859-7"
 "ISO-8859-8"
 "ISO-8859-9"
 "ISO-2022-JP"
 "ISO-2022-JP-2"
 "ISO-2022-KR"
 "UNICODE-1-1"
 "UNICODE-1-1-UTF-7"
 "UNICODE-1-1-UTF-8"

 (Or you could wait a few decades until Unicode becomes the assumed
 character set.)
 Good luck.
