Since Lucid I also have problems with certain text files. @Ted-mason: Did you try to open your files with gedit 2.28.x (Ubuntu Karmic 9.10) or earlier? Is their encoding detected automatically there? If so then this bug is a duplicate of bug 557571. Or did you file this report because you wish that gedit is able to open anything, even binary files? Then this is of type "wishlist" and should be sent upstream like Sebastien wrote.
