I think the most recent ncurses package does not overwrite the system
files, and puts the terminfo stuff into "/usr/local/share/terminfo".
All I can say is that that is where it (ncurses-5.4) installed the terminal
descriptions on my system.

This is a HUGE hint for debugging on my system. Thanks a million.
If you have the time and interest, you might try installing the latest
libncursesw on your OSX box, and then building Mutt against it. It's
looking more and more to me like what glyphs you can get an application
to draw has a lot to do with the curses library it's linked to.

_w_ide. Adds multibyte (both one-byte and two-byte) character support.
