I have several text files with texts from different European languages.
The file command tells me that they all are "ISO-8859 text" files. If I
load them in Emacs the modeline shows different coding systems: "-" and
"-1". Why?
I inserted a file with the modeline "-1" into a file with the modeline
"-" and saved the file. Now it shows "-@" in the modeline. Why?
Then I modified this file a little bit. And if I try to save it I get
the message:
Select coding system (default utf-8):
And in a help buffer I read:
These default coding systems were tried:
iso-2022-8bit-ss2-unix iso-latin-1
However, none of them safely encodes the target text.
Select one of the following safe coding systems:
utf-8 raw-text emacs-mule no-conversion
If all files are iso-8859-1 files I don't understand this behavior of
Emacs. Is anyone able to explain it?
I use Emacs 21.3.1 on SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 10.
Thanks in advance!
