I take that back.. tested it again and it works the same - couldn't
imagine why it would behave differently since I'm only defining an
alternate keyboard action and mapping it to whatever the other guy is
already mapped to..

Yes, that's what happens with "modal" editors.

After all, I only need to type a key combo followed by two different
characters to replace my own personal "trailing two dots" by a proper
ellipsis.

Thanks much for the tip. I fired up uxterm+vim, set the enc to =utf8
followd by ":dig ., 8230" and thus verified that the "unicode" version
of the terminus font has the correct glyph.
When I finish switching to "lenny" where I believe utf8 is the default,
I'll see if it's worth the effort adding fun stuff like that to my
emails.
Though I'm a bit sceptical as to the relevance of proper typesetting in
the context of terminal applications such as vim/mutt.
