--- Comment #21 from jeramy <jtownsle at iupui.edu> ---
This does seem like an obvious and easy problem to resolve--as stated above,
and elsewhere, simply create an option to open with whatever default character
set the user has chosen--that's what options are for, rather than forcing the
user to constantly specify all of the hundreds of "possible variations" we run
into, have the program try a simple resolution, which is what all software
does.  I uninstalled OpenOffice because of this and similar problems, hoping
LibreOffice would have used some common sense resolutions, but clearly not. 
After years of having to use OpenOffice to open dbf files for QuantumGIS, and
always getting the same stupid prompt for every file I have to open, I have
never once had to do anything other than simply hit the enter button.  Its is
patronizing and dismissive to respond "it's only one extra click" or "deal with
it" when it's such a simple fix.
