OK, I thought it was more like a flag, meaning "from now on,
everything you source is latin1". Of course, it wouldn't make much sense
that way, I should have noticed O:)

Oh, I didn't remember that, I assumed that Vim was using the
"isprint()" functions in ctype for that.

Anyway, I have that option set to "@,161-255", so probably if I set
my encoding to utf8, the multibyte characters (division and left
guillemot) should be printable, but in this case looks like Vim doesn't
like them (it likes them on 'listchars', so the problem is not the
encoding, definitely).

Yes, but if I set the encoding to utf8 and save the file *as* utf8,
then Vim should handle it, am I wrong?. Those characters will be valid
utf8 and will be printable :?

Do you know that with that kind of expressions you would pass as a
spanish native? Your spanish is much better than you think ;))) I'll try
to learn a bit of esperanto to correspond to your kindness :)
