Well, it sounds like you have your choice of people to complain to: 
you could try to get the w3m folks to add color to their dump output, 
or you could try to get the elinks folks to use line-drawing 
characters in *their* dump output (or learn to live without 'em). 
Either way, mutt could display whatever they produce without any 
problem. About the only trick they can do that mutt can't handle is 
w3m's graphics support (which is, at best, a reallllly impressive 
hack).
