Hello eveyone,
I just reinstalled Ubuntu 12.04 and as the subject says ...
Running
GNU Emacs 23.3.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.24.10) of 2012-09-21
on batsu, modified by Debian
Was ok before
When I try to save the file it asks for a coding system.
Hope you can help,
Michel Chassey

It's not possible to have \234\456 – \456 is not possible in octal notation. The presence of pairs similar to those makes it likely that you have an UTF-8 encoded text…
You can set in your environment the variables LANG or LC_CTYPE to point to an UTF-8 based encoding.

Thanks Paul,
