     Unreproducable. Mutt 1.4.1 displays this subject "=FF =D6 ", latest
 Mutt CVS displays it "=3Dxx =D6 ". Both without refresh problems.
 
     I'd suspect either a mismatch around TERM, terminal, and terminfo,
 or more probably a misconfig in locale and charset. Could you please
 give us more infos about your current setup? "locale", "locale charmap",
 "echo $TERM", ":set ?charset" directly in Mutt, and the like.
 
 
 Bye!   Alain.

 Followups to bug reports are public, and should go to bug-any@xxxxxxxxxxx=
 rg,
 and the reporter (unless he is a member of mutt-dev). Do not CC mutt-dev =
 mailing
 list, the BTS does it already. Do not send to mutt-dev only, your writing=
 s would
 not be tracked. Do not remove the "mutt/nnnn:" tag from subject.
