So the post should be leaving Vim as utf-8.
OK, is mutt changing that to ISO-8859-1 behind the scenes?:
Yes. Alpine also does this by default.
:r !grep char ~/.muttrc # shows us:
...shows us what you've explicitly set. Use:
mutt -Q send_charset
-Q = query a configuration variable
On my system (no ~/.muttrc), it returns:
send_charset="us-ascii:iso-8859-1:utf-8"
As Christian explained, mutt will:
use the first encoding in which the message "fits".
The comments in /etc/Muttrc expand on "fits":
# Mutt will use the first character set into which the text can be
# converted exactly.
If I used mutt, I'd set it explicitly to send_charset="utf-8"
