thanks a lot.. i found it, and now i can do what i want.. 
by following you're advices i found out, that vim treats read-only HTML-Files 
as if it where some text browser... so when i wanted to view/edit this file 
as non-root user, i just saw :
%1
%2
%3
%4

but no source ... 
anyway.. thank you.. so i asked one question and got two answers ;)
