Yes, this seems not to be a problem.  Of course, the ø appears as
\303\270 in the shell.

Thanks.  This seems like a good idea.

Actually I have no problem with UTF-8 support in Emacs in general, just
with VM.  In fact, if I
Write the message to a file and then visit the file in a different
Emacs buffer, the characters are displayed fine,...  I also regularly
receive emails in Japanese which are displayed fine even if they
include accented latin characters.  It's only emails all of whose
characters are in iso-8859-1
with which I have problems.  It's bizarre...

Thanks, José
