sorry my english is not so good... with rare I mean invalid and
incorrect. Here is some examples.
letter in the original mail -->> letter when editing a reply
ó -->> ó
ò -->> ò
à -->> "Ã " (with a space)
' -->> â<80><99>

yes, when I do a vim --version it says: "... +multi_byte ..."

yes it is:
:~# locale -a
C
ca_ES@euro
ca_ES.iso885915@euro
ca_ES.utf8
en_US.iso885915
en_US.utf8
es_ES
es_ES@euro
es_ES.iso88591
es_ES.iso885915@euro
es_ES.utf8
POSIX
spanish

I think that es_ES@euro is the same that es_ES.ISO8859-15 because when
I choose wich locales I want this is displayed like: es_ES@euro
ISO-8859-15
