So naturally I go to options>mule>set-coding-system and what do you know, it's darkened, unselectible right when you need it. OK, so maybe this is intentional. If so at least have something that pops up and tells the user what to do instead. Yes, this happens in the kind of file that will produce this warning: "These default coding systems were tried: chinese-iso-8bit-unix chinese-big5 However, none of them safely encodes the target text. Select one of the following safe coding systems: raw-text emacs-mule no-conversion" -- http://jidanni.org/ Taiwan(04)25854780
