Did you get the private reply I sent you about this? and if so, and you 
didn't understand it, it might help if you'd point me to what you 
didn't understand.

By default it should use the setting that matches what the loaded file 
contained. So if you open a file, edit it, and save it again (cmd-S) it 
should preserve encoding and line endings (it may upgrade the encoding 
to utf-8 if you use characters that cannot be represented in the 
encoding).
