Subject: Opening file in UTF-8 mode automatically
Date: Sat, 24 Nov 2007 08:38:20 -0800 (PST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <78b46aa5-064f-4977-b425-b30a2f1866bb@a39g2000pre.googlegroups.com> (raw)
I need to edit some UTF-8 files and it's very annoying emacs doesn't
detect it automatically (I have to reopen them as utf-8 manually) and
sometimes I notice it only after I already edited and saved the file
which messes up the formatting.
I tried prefer-coding-system utf-8, but it didn't help.
I can't put lisp code into the files, because they are data files.
Is there a definitive way to do it? The BOM is at the beginning of the
files, so Emacs could detect it automatically.
It's emacs 22.
