It depends on your filter what encoding to use. By default beagle
assumes the system default encoding.

I am not sure how DetectInputCodepage works or what is its alternative
in mono. Currently, the files that have encoding specified e.g. HTML
files, are opened in the specified encoding. Others are opened in the
system encoding. Again, it is upto the filter to use the correct
encoding for opening filestreams.
