mule-utf-8 did not work for me. I got the same message when trying to save, but this time it said that the file was in mule-utf-8-unix. When I changed the buffer coding system and the top line raw-text, I didn't get an error. This will probably bite me at some point, but it gets rid of the errors for now. -- Ted > > > ------------------------------------------------------- > SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide > Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users. > Discover which products truly live up to the hype.
