From a quick test, using an autocmd to set 'fenc' to latin1 works for me. Could you try ":verbose set fenc?" from the mail file? > I also wanted to set other options for mail now, but it doesn't seem to > have any effect.

Testing in my Lenny chroot, that file pattern does get recognized as 'mail' filetype. ":verbose set filetype?" will show what filetype it is set to and which script set it. > But I also just tried "set fenc=latin1" in my vimrc file, but that > doesn't seem to have any effect when editing non-empty files either, it > only seems to have an effect on empty files.

To read a file in a certain encoding it won't work by setting 'fileencoding', use the |++enc| argument. One exception: when 'fileencodings' is empty the value of 'fileencoding' is used. For a new file the global value of 'fileencoding' is used. -- James GPG Key: 1024D/61326D40 2003-09-02 James Vega <[email protected]>
