Encoding other than UTF-8 ?

[Viveka Nathan K <vivek lantana tenet res in>]

Hi all..
 How can I use the encoding other than UTF-8, in GNOME ?
 If I set the LOCALE to en_US.ISO-8859-1, it saves the file in UTF-8 format only.
 How can I change it ?  Applications like 'gtk2edit' are having the options to store
 in different encodings, but in  'gedit', I couldnt do that.

 Is there any way to do that ?
