The specifics are very different, but I had trouble displaying line-drawing
characters using the terminal emulator TeraTerm on a new install of WindowsXP
to connect to the NetBSD box running Mutt. I solved the problem by installing
the font "LETGOTHL.TTF" on the WindowsXP machine.

The locales on the respective machines, and the fonts available for those
locales probably comes into play.

I'd be interested in knowing which curses library (slang, ncurses, ncursesw
or native curses) and version you used to build the respective Mutt binaries.
(It has recently been brought to my attention that the differences I have
with nvi, built with ncursesw, and Mutt, built with slang, in displaying
wide characters possibly is due to the different curses libraries used to
build them.)

That's a ditto.
