How to keep "illegal multibyte sequence" (wrong encode character) when save #62

Dear seanliang,

I have a source file with SJIS encoding, it has some wrong encode character (when saving file, ConvertToUTF8 said: illegal multibyte sequence). And ConvertToUTF8 will remove it from source. How to keep them when save? I tried sakura editor and it did keep, but i love sublime text.

Thanks and best regards,

This plugin is written in Python which API can not meet your requirement. The write method will fail completely if there is any malformed data. That's the reason why I have to ignore those data.
