I totally agree with that. Arguing what one *should* be using, we could also remove the language selector (because "one should know what programming language he is looking at") or the tab size selector (because "one should not care because TM will always do it right") from the status bar ;-)

However, back with TM1 there was the "File -> Re-open with encoding" menu item which was very useful to me in the kind of situation that you describe. Getting this menu item back in TM2 would IMO serve the purpose and spare precious space on the status bar.
