I am glad you are trying the multibyte support, I added it to OutlookVim,
but have never had a chance to use it.

There are a few things that are required for Vim to support multibyte
characters.
NOTE: I do not use multibyte support in Vim, so if anyone else wants to
chime in that would be terrific.

The OutlookVim.bas file checks a few things in Vim:

1.  Does your Vim support multibyte (test with :echo has("multi_byte") )?
2.  Is a BOMB enabled (:set bomb, tested with :echo &bomb == 1)
3.  Does the fileencodings support UTF8 ( tested with :echo
match(&fileencodings, '\<ucs-bom\|utf\>')   )?


If so, it will enable unicode format in the file which Outlook writes for
Vim to edit.


So, you can do this simple test.
1.  Start Vim
2.  :set bomb
3.  :set filecodings=utf-8
4.  :set encoding=utf-8
5.  Make sure the guifont you are using supports the character sets you are
displaying.
6.  From Outlook, hit the Edit in Vim button again and see what happens.



I have the following in my .vimrc when I want to play with multibyte:

if has("gui_running")
    if has("multi_byte")
        set encoding=utf-8
        setglobal fileencoding=utf-8
        set bomb
        set termencoding=iso-8859-15
        set fileencodings=iso-8859-15,iso-8859-3,ucs-bom,utf-8,utf-16

        " Enable Unicode (for Chinese and so on)
        " Downloaded from here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/dejavu/
        if filereadable(expand('$SystemRoot').'/fonts/DejaVuSansMono.ttf')
            " If running on drastically different resolution monitors
            " this will set the font based which screen you are
            " currently on.  This assumes the monitor above you has
            " a higher resolution.
            let fontsize = (getwinposx()<0 ? '11' : '11')
            " For normal 11 point font
            "   set guifont=Bitstream_Vera_Sans_Mono:h11:cANSI
            " For bold 11 point font
            " echomsg 'fontsize:'.fontsize.'  posx:'.getwinposx()
            exec 'set guifont=DejaVu_Sans_Mono:h'.fontsize.':cANSI'
        endif
    else
        echoerr "Sorry, this version of (g)vim was not compiled with
+multi_byte"
    endif
else
    echoerr "console Vim will not display UTF-8 properly"
endif
