But it's not doing that -- it's loading the files into normal Emacs
buffers, so the normal Emacs autodetecting of coding systems takes
place.
Hm... to me it looks like it never decodes the output from diff -- it
doesn't care what's on the lines, it just uses the diff codes.
Here's what the output buffer looks like:
[-- Attachment #2: Type: image/png, Size: 24286 bytes --]
[-- Attachment #3: Type: text/plain, Size: 343 bytes --]
This is a buffer that the user doesn't see -- instead the real two
buffers are displayed, and the fontising is done there.
But again, I'm not familiar with the code here, but it looks to me that
that's what ediff-extract-diffs is doing.
