    I know this has been worked on recentlyish so I'm
    writing here instead of Mozilla.

    Open a file as "Encoded Text", go to "Save As" and
    AbiWord's going to try to save it as "Plain Text"!
    This means that your fancy encoded file is going to
    get saved with loads of question marks because it
    won't be in the encoding you opened it with at all!
    This just happened to me.

    It's much worse if you just do "Save" because then
    your file gets destroyed without you ever having a
    clue.

    There is code to keep the "Open" filetype and "Save
    As"
    filetype synchronized and I recall the being changed
    in the past month or so. Can somebody please look
    into it?

    Andrew Dunbar.
