Even in vim? They shouldn't. If they are, your vim is broken or
misconfigured. With cat and other "dumb" tools this is to be expected,
of course, and then you have little choice except changing the terminal
character encoding to match your files, since you can't change the
locale (except to C, which should be iso-8859-1 and might even work to
make mutt speak iso-8859-1).
