Nice one! Your original $index_format has all spaces as Latin-1
non-breaking spaces coded 0xA0. As the glyph is identical, a space, you
could look some long years before seeing the difference.

Vim has a "fileencodings" heuristic to auto-sense a file's charset.
Probably your muttrc was correctly guessed as written in Latin-1
charset, and vim has then shown you the nbkspc converted to your UTF-8
display.

And what about setting $config_charset=iso-8859-1, which while
reading muttrc will convert on-the-fly the nbkspc to its UTF-8 coding?
Bye! Alain.
