Yes, I supposed that something like that would happen, but if I
don't set 'encoding' I'm not able to see the characters correctly. I
mean, they will be correctly written to the file in utf8 but I won't be
able to see them on the screen. I know that this is risky, but the
alternative will consider all my US-ASCII files (and any newly created
one) as utf8 and I don't want that right now. For me is easier to do the
above and take the risk because I seldom edit utf8 files. If I run into
trouble, I'll probably use some "BufReadPost" autocommand to properly
set both 'encoding' and 'fileencoding'.
Thanks for the information, Bram, and thanks a lot for Vim :)
