[vile] Accented characters (or not) in 9.7x

[Chris G]

Having got my vile 9.7x installed and mostly working I just tried to
send an E-Mail in French.  Accented characters no longer work as they
did. 

When I enter an accented character, either with the vile compose key
or with the X compose key it results in a very odd sequence of
characters being displayed. For example when I enter an e with an
acute accent I see (in vile):-

    M-CM-)

The character is actually correct, if I look at the file after saving
the e-acute is there.

Thus the problem is in vile's display of the character, not with the
actual code being entered.
