http://www103.pair.com/parv/tmp/mutt-xterm-bold-off.png
...all the while having in ~/.Xdefaults for xterm from XFree86 4.2.0 ...
XTerm.VT100*font: -*-screen-medium-r-normal-*-15-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1
XTerm.VT100*boldFont: -*-screen-bold-r-normal-*-15-*-*-*-*-90-iso8859-1
XTerm.VT100*boldColors: true
...and using mutt 1.5.4_8 & ncurses 5.1.
