OK, I managed to grab its contents by C-x o C-x o C-x h w: These default coding systems were tried: chinese-big5-unix However, none of them safely encodes the target text. Select one of the following safe coding systems: iso-8859-9 iso-8859-8 iso-8859-4 iso-8859-3 iso-8859-2 iso-8859-1 etc. which extend off the screen, with no way for the user to scroll the contents while being prompted in the minibuffer. Anyway, the main reason I'm writing is that at the top of the message it should say which file it is talking about. As we encountered it upon using "C-x s !" for crying out loud... emacs-version"21.3.1"
