coding system oddity

Hello, is this expected behaviour? Tested with 21.5.28 and 21.5.29 rm -f xx.txt; gnuclient xx.txt # -> coding system UTF8 rm -f xx.txt; touch xx.txt ;gnuclient xx.txt # -> coding system Auto/undecided rm -f xx.txt; echo " " >xx.txt ;gnuclient xx.txt # -> coding system UTF8 0-sized files are in my configuration always read with an Auto/undecided coding system. Worse yet, upon saving no sensible coding is selected - texts with accents or foreign chars get munged. My settings are this: custom.el: '(buffer-file-coding-system 'utf-8 t) '(buffer-file-coding-system-for-read 'utf-8 t) '(buffer-process-coding-system 'utf-8) '(default-buffer-file-coding-system 'utf-8 t) '(default-file-coding-system 'utf-8) '(edict-default-coding-system 'utf-8) '(file-coding-system 'utf-8 t) '(file-coding-system-for-read 'utf-8 t) init.el: (set-coding-priority-list '(utf-8)) (set-coding-category-system 'utf-8 'utf-8) (set-default-file-coding-system 'utf-8) (prefer-coding-system 'utf-8) (set-default-buffer-file-coding-system 'utf-8) (setq buffer-file-coding-system-for-read 'utf-8) In my (very) old .xemacs/init.el I also had an additional (set-default-coding-systems 'utf-8) which does no longer exist but apparently cured the problem. Afaicr 0-sized files caused me some coding system related trouble even in 21.4.8 which was fixed with the above setting.
