Woops! I just changed my text editor to emacs, and it handled the utf-8
just fine. So apparently vim wasn't saving the file as utf-8, which would
explain why after I quit out of vim, I saw that mutt was trying to send
the message as latin1. When I used emacs, it imediately recognized the
file as utf-8 and encoded it properly.
Thanks
