If I put vile into insert mode and past the text into vile itself then
all extended (i.e. >127) characters are lost.  They disappear
completely, they don't appear as backslash sequences or anything like
that.

it's supposed to work...

Which version of vile are you using, and what terminal emulator?
(so I can try to reproduce it, this evening).

thanks


However if I paste onto the end of the file I'm editing or into a
temporary file and read that into vile all the accented characters are
there.  E.g. if I'm editing a file 'thisFile' and I do:-

   cat >>thisFile
   <do the paste in this window>
   CTRL/D

Then the accented characters appear correctly in vile while editing
'thisFile' (need to do :e! of course).

Why doesn't the paste direct into vile work?

I'm all UTF as far as I know.  'locale' on the machine where vile is
running shows everything as "en_GB.UTF-8".  On the remote machine
where the text is coming from  everything is also "en_GB.UTF-8".
