Another thing popped in mind, from back in the old days. There was a
difference between terminals that showed bright-on-bright as something
blinking and bright-on-bright as bright-on-bright. Like when on IRC you
"/exec -o" your ansi-terror.sh script, and some people begin screaming
'BRIGHT COLOURS!' and others go like 'MY WHOLE TERMINAL IS BLINKING!'.
Maybe mutt 'alters' the mode of the terminal through some escape sequence.
The same could be done (on console...) to switch codepages, IIRC.
You could try to capture what mutt does to your terminal, by running it
from inside 'script', a utility that records everything that goed in and
out your terminal in raw format, so you can see the exact
escape-sequences used.
Then, sequence by sequence, analyse what happens...
