I don't use recover-file a lot. When I have to use autosave files I usually open them up in their own buffers and compare and copy "manually". Very often when I open them I have to immediately use revert-buffer-with-coding-system because they are utf8 files. For a long time I have wished that the coding of those files would be recognised like for other files. I thought of reporting this as a bug, but since auto-coding-list (in lisp/international/mule.el) has an explicit line ("/#[^/]+#\\'" . emacs-mule))) it's evidently on purpose, so instead I will ask here. What is that purpose?
