I write English almost exclusively, so this is not something I will
use. If this is useful for others (and I expect it will be) then I
suggest posting it as a script at http://www.vim.org/scripts/index.php .
In the description, you can post a link (as snipped below) to tellenc.
Perhaps you can package your vim functions as a plugin so that they can
be used without adding anything to the vimrc file.

I thought of doing this, but this seems far too personal. My script
works best on Simplified Chinese locale, with the ability to tell
between utf-8, gb2312/gbk, big5, and latin1. Some small tweaks are
probably needed when the environment or requirements are different. So
maybe it is more suitable to be a tip.
If it is only in the mailing list, it can quickly get lost. So I will
consider your suggestion and try to do something.
I suspect you are not the only person using Vim to edit Simplified Chinese;
furthermore, I suspect that your script might be useful, if only as a source
of inspiration, to someone wishing to discriminate between the various
encodings used for the other CJK languages, viz. Traditional Chinese, Japanese
and Korean. IMHO it would be better as a script than as a tip because it is
easier to upload new versions of a script. Or maybe a script to "do the job"
and a tip explaining to Vim users, in pain language, what to look for when
trying to guess the encoding for CJK text files.
Best regards,
Tony.
