Hello Everybody,



I am a bit confused about the different encoding support

of GNU Emacs. 



I have iso-8859-2 and utf-8 encoded text files.

If I open an existing file, then Emacs should try to open it with

utf-8 encoding, if it fails, then try to open it with iso-8859-2

encoding. If I am right, 

(prefer-coding-system 'iso-8859-2)

(prefer-coding-system 'utf-8)

in this order, does the trick.



How can I specify the following:

If I open a new file, type in some texts, and

save it, then Emacs should try to save it with iso-8859-2 encoding,

if it fails (contains some non-iso-8859-2 characters),

then save it with utf-8(-unix) encoding.

Or if I open an existing iso-8859-2 text file and add some

extra (non-iso-8859-2) characters, then

Emacs save it with utf-8 encoding.



Thanks for any help in advance.



Regards,

B.
