,----[ C-h v auto-coding-regexp-alist RET ]
| auto-coding-regexp-alist's value is
| (("^BABYL OPTIONS:[ ]*-\\*-[ ]*rmail[ ]*-\\*-" .
no-conversion))
|
|
| Documentation:
| Alist of patterns vs corresponding coding systems.
| Each element looks like (REGEXP . CODING-SYSTEM).
| A file whose first bytes match REGEXP is decoded by CODING-SYSTEM on
reading.
|
| The settings in this alist take priority over `coding:' tags
| in the file (see the function `set-auto-coding')
| and the contents of `file-coding-system-alist'.
|
| You can customize this variable.
|
| Defined in `international/mule'.
