Hmmmm. Those look like UTF-8 characters that are being misunderstood
by your editor.
My guess is that your locale isn't specifying a characterset, even if
you think it is. Mutt should ONLY provide message files to your editor
(vim) in the characterset specified in the locale.
>es_ES
>es_ES@euro
>es_ES.iso88591
>es_ES.iso885915@euro
>es_ES.utf8
>I think that es_ES@euro is the same that es_ES.ISO8859-15 because

>ISO-8859-15
Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure that's incorrect. Locale names use the
following syntax:
language[_territory][.codeset][@modifier]
The "@euro" is a modifier that is primarily used for LC_MONETARY
issues, to indicate that there are multiple ways that monetary values
can be formatted (the old way and the euro way). It DOES NOT select a
character set. That's why you have both es_ES@euro *and*
es_ES.iso885915@euro available. Make sense?
Now, I read up a little bit on this (here:
http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg20/docs/n573-Euro_Handling.pdf),
and here's something I discovered:
Note that the @modifier cannot be assigned to LC_ALL or LANG. It
is intended to modify a category (or categories) individually.
So setting LANG to be es_ES@euro is completely incorrect! I didn't
know that.
Try setting your LANG to be es_ES.utf8 and see what happens. I bet
that will fix it for you. You MAY want to set LC_MONETARY to be
es_ES@euro or something similar, but you shouldn't use the @euro
modifier in LANG or in LC_ALL. Does that make sense?
