What happens in cases where text is *not* US-ASCII and still sent with the content-transfer-encoding set to quoted-printable? Maybe nothing happens. I admit to knowing next to nothing about character sets in this way.

If the text is not US-ASCII and the content-transfer-encoding is quoted-printable, all non-ASCII bytes are converted to the "=XY" notation, where X and Y are hex digits. ASCII pats of the message are readable with vim this way, but non-ASCII requires Mutt. If viewability with vim is an absolute requirement, use the "8bit" content-transfer-encoding.
