Cool, so i can discard that the problem comes from vim + libncurses.

In other mails from the thread we've reached to the point of knowing
that mutt is reencoding the chars. Since you seem to know about
libraries and calls to functions, do you know a method to track this
issue? I've been thinking maybe an strace to mutt, but y don't know
what to search for, and strace gives lots of info.

So the question is: what would you do to track this problem?
