[TxMt] keep it in iso-8859-1

[Danny Krøger]

I'm also a supporter for UTF-8, but as a webdeveloper I also has to  
take IE6 lousy support into this and go the latin 1 way. I also  
maintain some websites which is already coded in latin 1.

But I think it's bad behaviour that it doesn't warn you that it's  
changing the encoding. It messes up the whole document unless you  
undo it. If you try to revert to latin 1 (by reopen by encoding)  
after it has swapped it, the old text is still messed up.

It would be nice to have an option to paste text at the current  
encoding and truncate characters not availible. That is a better  
option than destroying a document (when you are forced to keep it in  
latin 1). It costs so much time to change all the garbaged text by  
hand afterwards.
