Re: utf-8

[Mats Bengtsson]

Open the file in Emacs, press CTRL-x Return f and enter: utf-8
You should see a "-u" at the bottom left corner of the window.
Then, the next time you save the file, it should be in UTF-8.

This didn't work for me the first time I tried it, since I had
an old .emacs file that changed some of the default settings. What 
helped then (as a temporary fix until I had cleaned up my .emacs file) 
was Meta-x toggle-enable-multibyte-characters.
