Description of the Issue

Sometimes Notepad++ detects text files with Windows-1251 encoding as Macintosh encoding.
This screenshot was made on this file, latest N++ version is still affected.
Maybe it's better to take into account only current system ANSI codepage for legacy ANSI text files?
(It's a copy of this issue from the old bug tracker).

Steps to Reproduce the Issue

  1. Download this file.
  2. Open it in the Notepad++.

Expected Behavior

System ANSI codepage should be used.

Actual Behavior

Wrong charset is detected. Notepad++ displays broken text.
