Yes, that's true, but the coding system of the temporary buffer is
inherited of the one of the org file (At least it's what I've found in
my tests). But my be should I add a comment to explain that.

For the tests I've made and the examples I had sent, it seem to change
the coding system.

I hoped the example Ive had sent was clear enough.

I'm using org on an Windows machine where the default encoding seem to
be iso-latin-1-dos.
But I edit my org files in utf-8 encoding and of course I want to
include some files as source files for reference. Thoses files are
sometime encoded wit an different coding system (espetially cmd files
with comments in french : cp850).

I use principally those coding  ystems :
- cmd : cp850
- org : utf-8 or iso8859-15
- sql : window1252-dos

But when I include thoses files their content isn't correctly inserted,
especially the accents.
Hope I'me clearer now.


I reattach the examples, but note that  the cmd.txt or sh.txt extensions
are only there to avoid my mail to be wiped out.
