Hey Benji,

Thanks for the fix.

I should have forwarded Bartek's emails to you as well... Anyway, this
is the email in which he wrote about which encodings he uses and some
other information...

Afterwards, he said that his linux machine didn't have +iconv, which
made imaps not work properly. He compiled his vim with iconv support and
imaps seemed to start working. So I asked him if he needed iconv only
for latex-suite or whether he needed it otherwise also. He wrote:

I still do not understand why the placeholders should not be
"completeley erased"...
