Using utf-8 seemed like a good idea because of various nice properties of UTF-8. Also, I didn't know about emacs-mule. Feel free to change it to emacs-mule if that makes more sense. The encoding used by this file is more or less internal to Emacs, and only Emacs needs be able to process it. People who desperately want another encoding can change it by customizing that variable. _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
