[Note: "replying to this email" - even Reply All, does *not* send anything to
monnier@iro.umontreal.ca. That address needs to be added by hand, apparently.]
Uh, why was this closed in the middle of debugging and a discussion about it?
http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/emacs/download/vline.el contains
non-ascii chars, but does not contain any coding tag, so depending on
your coding settings, it will decode it in different ways, some of which
will lead to load-time errors, others to incorrect behavior.
There's nothing for Emacs to do here.
Such uses are OK for a file you wrote for your own use, but for
distribution to people who may use other locales, it's not.
Not too helpful. Please explain what the author needs to do to fix the file.
And does the Emacs doc perhaps need to be updated to explain that libraries that
worked in Emacs 22 might need to be modified by adding coding settings in order
to work in Emacs 23?
BTW, the URL you cite does not correspond to the file I sent, as someone pointed
out, even though the file names are the same. The problem might be the same for
both files (dunno), but the reference is incorrect. This bug report you closed
is not about the file you closed it for.
