Thanks for the info. As far as I could see, version 1.3764 is encoded in
Latin-1, not iso-2022-7bit. But since there's a ``coding: iso-2022-7bit''
cookie there, buffer-file-coding-system gets set to iso-2022-7bit, and
Emacs then pops the select-safe-coding-system dialog when you try to save.
The question is how did the file get saved on Michael's machine as
Latin-1. Ideas, anyone?
I think we should change save-buffer to pay attention to the coding:
cookie. This was discussed long ago (more than a year, IIRC), but never
got coded. It's a bad mantra, IMHO, that Emacs produces a file whose
coding: lies through its teeth.
