As long as your vimrc includes only 7-bit ASCII, there's no problem. But in
the particular case of your vimrc, you could add the following lines at
top, do ":setlocal fenc=latin1", and (IIUC) it will always be _read_ as
Latin1 in the future, because of the accented letters in your name:
Won't "scriptencoding" work? I have latin1 characters in my vimrc
and setting "encoding=utf8" now causes vim to spill an error when
reading it :((( I'm afraid I will have to keep it at the default value.
Thanks for all the help :)

Maybe I didn't express myself clearly enough. Unless your vimrc includes
codepoints higher than U+00FF, it can be represented in Latin1. Any Latin1
file which includes the words "Raúl Núñez" will cause the UTF-8 heuristic to
fail in 'fileencodings', and Vim will see it as Latin1.
":scriptencoding" is used to tell Vim's sourcing engine in which
'fileencoding' the script was written. There are two cases where it is not
necessary:
- the same as 'encoding', or
- UTF-8 with BOM.
IOW, yes, if you set 'encoding' to UTF-8 you may have to also issue
":scriptencoding latin1". Or else you can use a UTF-8 vimrc, provided that you
can be sure that it will never be sourced (or that characters >0x7F in it will
always be skipped) in a Vim compiled with -multi_byte.
Best regards,
Tony.
