Viewing Extracted Files in Editors other than VIM

Today, I have finally figured out a way to get the extracted files from Simple Stego to show up in editors like KWrite or Gedit with help from http://linux.derkeiler.com/Newsgroups/comp.os.linux.misc/2004-01/2284.html. First, you open up the extracted file in vim. Then, you issue the command :set fileencoding=utf8 (or whatever encoding you need). This is kind of awkward, so I'll look for shell commands this weekend that set the encoding like vim does.
