That does not matter! Just select the 'Send Bug Report...' entry from the Help menu and copy the contents of the newly created *mail* buffer into your eMail client's compose window. Do the same with address and subject. Then complete the message's body. > If this is to be corrected as a bug, then there should be also other > compressed audio files added to this list (I didn't try to edit > them so I am > not sure they would save wrongly): .wma, .aac, .m4a and probably > also ogg > vorbis files, I don't know the extensions. There is also FLAC (.flac) and SHTN (.shn) and there are many video and graphics formats. Ogg Vorbis uses .ogg, at least in those downloaded live concerts I have. When filling out the bug report please concentrate on the failure of hexl-mode, as Stefan Monnier emphasised. IMO too this should not have happened, since no-one would edit a simple text file with an encoding as a binary in hexl-mode. So there seems to be some bug when you're asked to give some text encoding's name. Mentioning of file-coding- system-alist should not be the bug report's main concern, merely a remark describing how you solved your problem, since its purpose might be aiming towards text files. -- Greetings Pete "Let's face it; we don't want a free market economy either."
