Great! I have wondered how to do this and have been too lazy to find out myself... :) A comment, and I really do not want to troll here: Why cannot Emacs handle this automatically? I mean, it already handles LF vs CR + LF issues when I open text files encoded using either format. Are there any drawbacks trying to "guess" more than what is already done? _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
