Bug#517532: vim: au FileType mail doesn't work anymore?

[Kurt Roeckx]

Package: vim
Version: 1:7.1.314-3+lenny2

Hi,

Because of #379107 I have this in my vimrc file:
:let &termencoding = &encoding
set encoding=utf-8
au FileType mail setlocal fenc=latin1

However that doesn't seem to work anymore, and the fileencoding 
is now set to utf-8 instead of latin1.

I also wanted to set other options for mail now, but it doesn't 
seem to have any effect.  So my guess was that detections of the 
filetype was broken.  I use mutt so my files look like 
/tmp/mutt-intrepid-1000-28242-16.

But I also just tried "set fenc=latin1" in my vimrc file, but 
that doesn't seem to have any effect when editing non-empty files 
either, it only seems to have an effect on empty files.  If the 
file already has ascii text in it, it will always set fenc to 
utf-8 it seems.

So I seem to have 2 problems:
- fenc doesn't have any effect on non-empty ascii files
- au FileType mail doesn't seem to do anything.
