Ah... but that would require a bit of a hack though in my use case 
(running emacs as the editor for mutt).

Ok, I am testing these. I did however also discover the 'send_charset'
setting for Mutt; together with your hints that may do the trick -- thanks.

Hi all,

I am using emacs as the editor for mutt; however, I have never been able
to get it working correctly, as quite often emacs will not detect that
a text file is, in fact utf8 (that's when i get the '\201' character before 
accented characters like in German). I've found similar problems on the 
mailing list, but no solution that seems to work; that includes setting utf8
as the preferred encoding.Also, it does not really seem to
matter what charset I use in mutt, or my exact setting in .emacs.

So does anyone have bullet proof settings such that I will never see that
dreaded \201 again? I am *almost* capabable of just removing them trough some
hook function when I start emacs, but taht seems very evil.

Thanks in advance
Dirk.
