Sorry for replying old discussion. I think UTF-8 mode should not mean the default input method. UTF-8 mode should only mean that the default input encoding is UTF-8 (Since Emacs has encoding guessing and fallback mechanism, Emacs can fall into other encodings if the encoding of input file cannot be UTF-8. The fallback encodings can be locale-dependent.) and the default output encoding is UTF-8. Input method depends on language, not encoding. --- Tomohiro KUBOTA <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.debian.or.jp/~kubota/ "Introduction to I18N" http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/intro-i18n/ -- Linux-UTF8: i18n of Linux on all levels Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-utf8/
