ascii text file with some non-ascii chars (1.74 KB, text/plain)

Description Massimo Cora' 2007-10-21 10:24:05 UTC 
Would it be possible to force opening a text file which contains only few non-ascii characters?
I have many examples like these files that I must open with 'vi' or 'less' or any cmd line program. I encounter these cases nearly everyday and I cannot open those with any of the proposed encoding.
An example can be http://www.arcoworldchess.com/~risultati2007/GiocatoriA/Elenco%20ngiocatori%20open%20%20A.txt

Here it is another one. I tried with notepad on windows and... it has no problem opening this!
I think that substituting those with some predefined char would fix the problem..

This is especially annoying when you use 'script' and such.

Any news on this bug? Can we expect it to be fixed for gnome 2.24?
