Mind you, I have absolutely no idea what a "UTF-8 signature" is, but I trust you on this. :-) SJT> This needs to be fixed OK, how? I did a... (add-to-list 'file-coding-system-alist '("offending-file" . iso-8859-1)) Which fixed(?) it for "offending-file", but that doesn't seem to be the right work around, and... (add-to-list 'file-coding-system-alist '(t . iso-8859-1)) ...hardly seems practical. Could I hang something off 'find-file-hooks' to change the coding system if it's "MSW UTF8"? Is it my XEmacs that is adding the "UTF-8 signature" when I visit a file edited by someone else? Or is it coming from the person who edited the file before me? What do we do about this, Steve? It looks like this bug needs a fairly high priority to get fixed. When it bit me this time it wasn't so bad, just damn annoying. But... There are a couple of files in the Oort Gnus lisp directory that have these "UTF-8 signatures". I usually run a Mule-enabled XEmacs and if I byte-compile these files with a Mule-XEmacs I can't load them with a non-Mule one. I get a "can't open load file: mule" error. These files _don't_ need Mule. -- |---<Steve Youngs>---------------<GnuPG KeyID: 10D5C9C5>---| | XEmacs - It's not just an editor. | | It's a way of life. | |------------------------------------&lt;youngs(a)xemacs.org&gt;---|
