I asked more or less the same a few days ago, you can see the thread
in the mailing list archive.

You can use 'file -i' in a "BufReadPost" autocommand and set the
appropriate variables from it, but that won't work for empty files, so
if you edit a new file and put latin1 characters on it, they will be
encoded as utf8 if you set "fileencodings=ucs-bom,utf8,latin1". So,
I've chosen a different approach. Since 99% of the files I work with are
latin1, I've set my vimrc like this:
set encoding=default
set fileencoding=
set fileencodings=
You can set the last one to "ucs-bom,latin1" if you want, that makes
no difference for me because I don't use files with 'bom'.
After that, I've set up this mappings to switch manually from one
encoding to other:
noremap <silent> <Leader>+ :setlocal fenc=utf8 enc=utf8<CR>
noremap <silent> <Leader>- :setlocal fenc=latin1 enc=latin1<CR>
OK, this is not a perfect solution, and it's a bit crappy and can be
automated (for example, using "file -i") but it works for me and I find
it very comfortable to use.
