vi encoding/terminal problem

I'm using vim 6.3.46 on RHEL and I'm having a weird problem displaying a given file.

If I am working directly on the machine, then everything is fine and the file correctly displays. Here's just an excerpt:

Code:

UPDATE kauf set busrname="DFÜ - "||busrname[1,29]
        WHERE auftrnr = $1
          AND vorgang = $3
          AND subnr   = $2
          AND busrname[1,6] != "DFÜ - ";

If I'm logging from Windows on the machine with Putty per ssh, then the output is almost fine, just note the incorrect display of (what I think is) an UTF-8 character (DFÃ instead of DFÜ)

Code:

UPDATE kauf set busrname="DFÃ - "||busrname[1,29]
        WHERE auftrnr = $1
          AND vorgang = $3
          AND subnr   = $2
          AND busrname[1,6] != "DFÃ - ";

But where things really go bad, is if I connect, still from windows on the machine with QVT/Term (from http://www.qpc.com) per ssh:

Code:

 - "||busrname[1,29]name="DFÃ
        WHERE auftrnr = $1
          AND vorgang = $3
          AND subnr   = $2
          - ";busrname[1,6] != "DFÃ

Note that here the sign Ã causes all that follows to be displayed at the beginning of the line, overlapping with what is usually there.

First I thought it was a term problem, that's why I checked with the command ":set" and ":set term=xxxx".

Putty and normal shell:

Code:

  backspace=2         hlsearch            ttyfast             t_Sb=^[[4%dm
  helplang=en         ruler               ttymouse=xterm      t_Sf=^[[3%dm
  history=50          scroll=11           viminfo='20,"50
  fileencoding=latin1
  fileencodings=utf-8,latin1
  formatoptions=tcql

QVT:

Code:

  backspace=2         history=50          ruler               ttyfast
  helplang=en         readonly            scroll=11           viminfo='20,"50
  fileencoding=latin1
  fileencodings=utf-8,latin1

In all of them, the Available builtin terminals are:

Code:

    builtin_riscos
    builtin_amiga
    builtin_beos-ansi
    builtin_ansi
    builtin_pcansi
    builtin_win32
    builtin_vt320
    builtin_vt52
    builtin_xterm
    builtin_iris-ansi
    builtin_debug
    builtin_dumb

:!echo $TERM gives me xterm in putty and the shell, and vt220 in QVT. After changing it with export TERM=xterm the result was still horked. So I don't know if this is really the cause I have to investigate.

Is there anybody who can give me a hint wrt my problem? Thanks a lot in advance
