Setting 'bomb' is weird. Unless the filetype requires the file to be written in utf-8 for the file to be working properly. George, is setting 'bomb' really required? If so, how can we avoid that this happens when the flexwiki filetype is detected when it's actually another kind of file? As a guard, 'bomb' should only be set when 'encoding' is utf-8. This applies to 'fileencoding' as well. At the time of writing the www.flexwiki.com site was not available, thus I could not check any specification there. -- A)bort, R)etry, P)lease don't bother me again /// Bram Moolenaar -- [email protected] -- http://www.Moolenaar.net \\\ /// sponsor Vim, vote for features -- http://www.Vim.org/sponsor/ \\\ \\\ download, build and distribute -- http://www.A-A-P.org /// \\\ help me help AIDS victims -- http://ICCF-Holland.org /// -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
