This is what I use. Even when I open a new file, the buffer coding system is chosen as utf-8-unix, shown as U: in the mode line. Maybe your environment is setup differently? What is the value of LANG or LC_ALL or any other LC_* environment variable? I have set LANG=de_DE.utf8. > (org-export-html-coding-system 'utf-8-unix) > > but Emacs still opens files with pure ASCII as undecided-unix, thus > producing wrong iso-8859-1 in my charsets again.
