Hi, people !
Why this awkward constraint for bbdb-file-coding-system? I can't read
its docs. It says "should not changed by users", but since it's a
defcustom, describe-variable will tell you "You can customize this
variable." Basically, what I want to do is change the coding system to
utf-8, so that the file could be saved correctly.
;; iso-2022-7bit should be OK (but not optimal for Emacs, at least --
;; emacs-mule would be better) with both Emacs 21 and XEmacs.
(defcustom bbdb-file-coding-system
(bbdb-eval-when (fboundp 'coding-system-p)
(cond ((apply 'coding-system-p '(utf-8-emacs))
'utf-8-emacs)
(t 'iso-8859-1)))
"Coding system used for reading and writing `bbdb-file'.
This should not be changed by users.
This should not be changed in between BBDB sessions, i.e. before loading the
BBDB which was stored in a different coding system. Make a backup of your
BBDB before changing this variable!"
:group 'bbdb
:type '(choice (const iso-8859-1)
(const utf-8-emacs)
(const iso-2022-7bit)))
