I don't know what version of mutt you are using, but the 1.5 branch
have handled this for as long as I can remember using it. It could be
dependent on your OS version, terminal program or factors outside of
mutt's control.
Fedora 6 and later, mutt and any of gnome-terminal, xterm, rxvt,
rxvt-unicode, aterm, eterm or mlterm has worked fine for me.
It would be interesting to know a bit more about your setup (and
looking at the date, find out if this is a wind-up ;).
