This suggests you are using a UTF-8 locale. In such an environment, gvim produces UTF-8 encoded files. Try with 'gvim text', enter just your Ctrl-V 233, save the file, and look at it with 'xxd text'. If it shows c3a9, it's UTF-8. If gvim should produce ISO-8859-1, then make sure to call it with LC_ALL=C. (But that does not solve the actual bug: mutt should not advertise charset=iso-8859-1 when the message contains UTF-8.) Benno -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
