For that you would need to set 'fenc' before reading the file, using ":e
++enc= encoding". Changing 'fenc' from the mode line only applies to
the next file write, which is quite often not what you want. In fact,
if Vim recognizes the file as "latin1" (using 'fileencodings'), and you
set 'fenc' to something else, Vim wil try conversion form "latin1" to
that other encoding every time you write the file.
I'm tempted to disallow setting 'fenc' from the modeline to avoid this
kind of mistakes. I'm trying to think of a valid reason to change
'fenc' in the modeline. Can't think of one...
