Okay -- then it's just not guessing the correct encoding.

It doesn't use the preference setting for opening files, only when  
saving.

So if the file is ASCII, it's opened as such, if it's UTF-8, then  
that's what it gets opened as. If it's neither, it uses a heuristic  
to try and figure out the proper encoding.
