I think BOM is not that safe because there are many charsets who have normal letters at 0xFE and 0xFF. What I'm thinking is to detect how LF (0x0A) is encoded because Unicode doesn't have U+0A00. If there's no LF, we must give up detecting. --- Ken'ichi HANDA [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Emacs-pretest-bug mailing list Emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
