M-: (set-coding-priority-list '(utf-8)) RET should give you a much better experience, but I can't promise it's optimal. Watch out for single-byte encodings such as ISO-8859 and KOI-8 being incorrectly detected. If you have trouble, we can try tuning the list. To make that default, put the expression in parantheses in your init file. -- School of Systems and Information Engineering http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Ask not how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software.
