Thunderbird 2.0.0.23 (X11/20090817) |
When I edit a non-latin-1 character into a latin-1 file and then save it,
Emacs saves the file in UTF-8 without inquiry. It omits the dialogue that
would inform me about the offending character and would offer me to select
a coding system for saving.
Below is a description for Emacs 22.2 (Ubuntu). Other people could
reproduce the behavior in Emacs 22.1 (Ubuntu) and 23.1.
I do get the dialogue when I change the second Emacs invocation below to
~$ env LC_CTYPE=C /usr/bin/emacs -Q /tmp/l1
If suppression of the dialogue is intended and not a bug: is there
some variable with which I can specify that I want to get that
dialogue anyway?
