That would work for me.  Specially if it could do a fall-back utf-8 to
latin1, but always having it in utf-8 works for me too.

The proper way would be to set it as forwarded, since it's not actually
solved.

Basicly, I want to store files in UTF-8.  I also want to be able to edit
files that are stored in UTF-8.  And I want to do that regardless of what
the terminal is set up to.  I don't want to use iconv on a file to
convert it from/to utf-8, I want my editor to do that.  And I've set up
vim to do what I want.

It's just that when mutt and vim interact, they don't agree on the
character encoding.
