Okay -- then it's just not guessing the correct encoding.
[...] So even if I save a file using an encoding like Latin1 and specify that files will use Latin1 in Preferences and should apply to existing file, it will open the file as ASCII?
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.
