I've done the following autocommand to perform the detection: autocmd BufReadPre * \ if system("file -i " . expand("<amatch>")) =~ "utf8" | \ setlocal fenc=utf8 | \ endif I'm sure that it could be much more simpler and powerful, but I'm a newbie programming in VimL, so... It works for me, at least, but any suggestion is welcome. Raúl Núñez de Arenas Coronado -- Linux Registered User 88736 | http://www.dervishd.net It's my PC and I'll cry if I want to... RAmen!
