If I open that file in vim I get
??^@/[EMAIL PROTECTED]@ [EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@
[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL

but Text Edit displays it correctly.
Can vi handle this type of file? If so, how?
in vim, type :h multibyte
that should get you started :)

Your example looks like UTF-16 (or UCS-2) text, i.e. Unicode
encoded at two bytes per character for most characters. Such text
may contain characters (Chinese, Russian, Hebrew, Greek, Arabic,
whatever) which canot be represented in latin1. I suggest the
following (in gvim):
if &termencoding == ""
let &termencoding = &encoding
endif
set encoding=utf-8
set fileencodings=ucs-bom,utf-8,latin1

Thanks Tony (and Elliot and Ned) for your replies,
I've been off sick for a couple of days so I'll revisit this when I
get out from under the pile.
FWIW my $LANG is empty, and the last time I used a ~/.MacOSX/
environment.plist I got the coolest OSX bug I've
ever seen - after an Apple update (as near as I can tell by the
timing) my home folder was suddenly read only.....
If you knew how long I spent trouble shooting that you'd know why I'm
not going there again :-)
