Somewhere emacs keeps a hidden file with a list of just about everyting it has edited with information about these files -- such as what character encoding they use. There's some mechanism to tell it to change a file from an old encoding to a new one. It doesn't seem to look at the file an guess if it already has the info in this file-type database. -- hendrik -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
