you'll want to add ++bad=keep to that; it should do mostly what you
asked for below with the <81> and such. It'll open the file in read-only
mode, and won't let you write the file until you've dealt with all the
bad characters. (If you try to set fenc to blank as the error message
proposes, it will write in the locale encoding (for me UTF-8) but leave
the bad characters alone.)

If this isn't acceptable, and the number of valid 80-9F characters is
small, you may consider using the latin1 encoding (all bytes are valid,
80-9F are control characters, and the rest are the same as cp1252)
instead.
