It doesn't work: 1. Use the above appended list 2. Open a new file foo.txt with two line of "ab". 3. You see the modeline is still "ISO8" (and `buffer-file-coding-system' is iso-2208-8), but this would be acceptable, although not nice (since I also see ISO8 for Unix endings and ISO8:T for dos) 4. Save the buffer, the length is 6 bytes (i.e., Unix endings) 5. Kill the buffer, re-read it. 6. Modeline ISO8:T, and `buffer-file-coding-system' is #<coding_system iso-2022-8-dos> -- huh? 7. delete your entry from file-coding-system-alist 8. Kill the buffer, re-read it. 9. Modeline ISO8, and `buffer-file-coding-system' is #<coding_system iso-2022-8-unix> BTW, I haven't seen one reason by anyone, why toggling from eol type nil to some other (whether unix, dos or mac) is bad. - Christoph
