I know that this behavior was intentional, though: the Emacs 21.1 and 21.2 support for UTF-8 is still less than perfect, so UTF-8 was deliberately left out of autodetection. I don't know what needs to be done to enable it. [time passes] Aha, the CVS version of Emacs also does not auto-detect UTF-8 properly (tested with Markus Kuhn's UTF-8-demo.txt). An alternative to the coding cookies is file-coding-system-alist. kai -- ~/.signature is: umop ap!sdn (Frank Nobis)
