The plugin helps in most cases by fixing broken encoding *declaration*. 
However, it won't help if also the encoding (not only its declaration) is 
broken. It's strange the ENCODING=UTF-8 in the SaveAs dialog didn't work. I 
Did you put it to the layer or datasource option? I don't remember which place 
is right, so I put it to both :)

About the pugin, it only contains a limited set of encodings included. Let me 
know if you need another one, I'll add it.
