[OS X Emacs] Migration from TeXShop to Aquamacs Emacs

[kbmail at free.fr]

Thank you so much pacotomi !! Your trick exactly does the job I  
needed (for me, I read that's not the case for Thomas).

Can you imagine I tried for hours to automaticaly insert the local  
variable cookies (like "%% -*- mode: LaTeX; coding: mac-roman-unix; - 
*-") with 'sed -i ...', escaping all those special caracters, to  
treat the 18 tex files of my thesis I already wrote with TeXShop... :-(

In fact, I added in my preference.el file a little different encoding  
to specify an unix line break (only Line Feed):
(add-to-list 'file-coding-system-alist '("\\.tex" . mac-roman-unix) )

Indeed, to detect file encodings, I now use BBEdit which guesses and  
indicates both text encoding and line break types, in its bottom bar.  
For all my old TeXShop files, it indicates 'Western (Mac OS Roman)'  
and 'Unix (LF)'. I wonder why Aquamacs doesn't automaticaly guess mac- 
roman encoding ('M' in mode line)... since Aquamacs is good at  
detecting utf-8 ('u' in mode line) or iso-latin-1 ('1' in mode line)  
text encodings? (without one need to "hard"-specify the encoding with  
local variables)

Cheers,
Karim
