Hello!
I have a UTF-8 test file, which comes from the Kermit distribution's
utf8.txt. Its name is utf8_txt and it starts with this line to force
it into UTF-8:
;;; -*- mode: Text; coding: utf-8; -*-
diff (GNU diffutils) 2.8.1 tells me that the only difference between
the original file and my private version is:
0a1
> ;;; -*- mode: Text; coding: utf-8; -*-
When I launch /usr/local/bin/emacs-22.0.50 -Q it opens utf8.txt (when
second file) with a mode-line starting with -u, but utf8_txt gets -E
upon opening it first. The next file, when it has UTF-8 contents, is
opened with -u in mode-line – and when I open utf8_txt now, it at
once gets a -u too!
I can understand that the non-marked utf8.txt gets -E in mode-line
when opened for the first time as first file, errare Emacsem est, too
(which does indeed happen), but it's hard to accept that the
mentioned header line leads to using some Japanese coding system!
When the first file I open is some ISO Latin or Mac-Roman or NeXT
or ... encoding, then the first UTF-8 file I open, no matter whether
it has the header line mentioned above or not, has -E in mode-line.
