1. Yes (1).
2. No (nobomb).
3. Yes (0).

Last time, as I enabled some of the MsgBox messages in the macro, I could see, 
it set the unicode variable to True.
Note: a bit strange for me, that after the macro uses the same variable and 
sets  it to False, and then "Check[s] if there are any unicode characters in 
the body". Here the macro did not set unicode variable back to True (despite of 
above characters present in the mail body). I played with keeping the unicode 
variable to True, in fact the file written out and read by Vim seemed to be 
Unicode (UTF-16 LE: <fffe>), but Vim could not display it correctly for me, 
with my settings.

For the record, in 3 it is fileencodings.
Setting bomb has no effect on the new buffer, so I have set the above in the 
.vim/after/ftplugin/mail.vim.

I am not 100% sure about this. I can tell, that it is possible to enter and see 
the same characters in Vim directly, but I am not sure if these are really 
Unicode characters.

The result is the same.

I have downloaded (and could set DejaVu Sans Mono), set the same config, but it 
did not help. :(

Thanks for the suggestions!

Any other tips?
