I made the same change the other day (well, from iso-8859-15 to utf-8) and experienced something similar. Turned out the signature files I had were still encoded with iso-8859-15, which caused the edior (Emacs in my case) to decide the files were actually iso-8859-1 rather than utf-8. reencoding the signature files solved the problem. If that's not the issue, then try and find out what the actual file encoding is of the temporary files that mutt and vim write. (Use the 'file' command for that.) That way, you can figure out where it goes wrong. The problem must be that at some point a file is written in one encoding and read in another. Figuring out where exactly that happens will help you solve your problem. HTH -- Joost Kremers Life has its moments
