Subject: bug#2317: emacs silently ignores buffer file encoding?
Date: Thu, 12 Feb 2009 14:25:33 +0900

(1) Start emacs -Q
(2) Visit "/tmp/fff"
(3) Insert the following chars: "θϑΘ"
(4) Set the buffer file encoding to latin1 with: C-x C-m f latin-1 RET
(5) Save the buffer: C-x C-s

For me, "/tmp/fff" is saved sucessfully, with no error or prompt, using
an encoding of utf-8 -- despite my having explicitly requested latin-1.

This doesn't seem right...
