In some files, especially .rb I have a problem where emacs forces me to have the following encoding line.
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

Is it possible to disable this feature?

If instead of using ruby-mode your are using enh-ruby-mode you should set this variable:

Fix: Emacs/Aquamacs keeps adding encoding comments to my files
Also, semi-related question but pertinent answer by Michael Kohl: How can I avoid putting the magic encoding comment on top of every UTF-8 file in Ruby 1.9?
