I do such stuff since years and it works great, with <pipe> or <editor>.

However, in the console/vt there is no problem, but in a XTerm, I run
sometimes into trouble with the characters...

Curently,  the  threads  are  shown  fine  in  lines.  I  can  call   my
"tdmuttsettings" :-) to change settings on the fly or permananet and  it
it just works with Xdialog...

But sometimes, I use a macro to start a  filter  (like  blacklisting  or
such) and after I am back in "mutt" the threating is screwed up...

The lines are transformed into => and such crap.

Do you know what this cause?

It seems, I have used something in one or more scripts, which  screw  it
up but was not able to locate it.

Any hints?
