My guess is that characters that arrive via X selection are
categorized as an unknown character set. They might default
to iso-8859-1 instead if you use
(set-language-environment "Latin-1").
Let me know if that makes a difference.
Also, try this in your .vm file and see if this helps.
(add-to-list 'vm-mime-mule-charset-to-coding-alist
'("unknown" no-conversion))
If it does, then this is what VM will do by default.
