Multiview refuses to open a plain text file

When writing a text file using another codeset (for instance greek), multiview refuses to open it and comes up with the following error message:
- Grab.jpg (11.07 KiB) Viewed 1863 times
Of course there is no problem if all characters are in english.

That's because datatypes.library looks at the first x characters in the file, and if there are any non-printable characters it will decide it is a binary rather than an ascii filetype. This then limits the subclasses which are checked against this file.
Probably best to isolate which character is causing the problem and find out the hex value of it using FileX. The devs might be able to do something about it.
