Agreed. Please report it as a bug with M-x report-emacs-bug. The problem is probably that iso-2022-foo is one of your "default" encodings, so if the encoding you specified doesn't work, this iso-2022-foo is used instead silently. > Also, can anyone tell me the difference between no-conversion and raw-text ? raw-text does end-of-line conversion.
