I was trying to compile mutt from the latest sources on my work desktop, which is running, I believe, the latest Ubuntu release. What I found is, if I compile against ncurses, the arrows which show thread relationships are drawn as a series of off ASCII characters, like so:

If I compile against slang, it works as expected.

Interesting... what terminal are you using, and what's your TERM variable set to? What version of ncurses-dev do you have installed?

from reading the email, it seems that his locale is set for UTF-8, but mutt's using ncurses (not ncursesw).
