I could possibly be persuaded, if someone want to make it, by the argument that 'latin1' is kind of colloquial, and someone using it may very well not be familiar with the possibility that they really mean cp1252. But, if so, there needs to be a way for someone to say "I really mean it" and not be overridden by us. Perhaps that could be =encoding "ISO-8859-1". > > Q: What if there is more than one =encoding line?
