Hi.
I can confirm this and have the same frustrating problem.
My suggestion would be to have there a dialogue box asking you to input the 
encoding manually when opening a file. This could be maybe done by some plugin 
or some setting allowing you to use the dialogue when you need to change the 
encoding manually.
Or use View->Character encoding as other programs have it.

Hope this helps.
