But that could be a problem with vline.el itself, you know. It uses
non-ASCII characters, but does not include any "coding:" cookies, so
Emacs is left with its guesswork for how to interpret the 8-bit bytes
included in the file. And that guesswork is not fool-proof.
I will look at this closer after you report the details about the
bytes that I requested in my other message.
