The problem is, that writing failed because converting to your desired fileencoding failed. The problem is probably, that Vim opened the file for writing, truncated it and when writing noticed the error. But at this time, the old contents are already gone. Besides, big red warning messages should always be read, because they don't usually happen. regards, Christian -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
