I use TeraTerm on WindowsXP. The _last time_ that happened to me, it
fixed itself when I changed fonts on the Windows machine. However, I've
just gone through a re-install of my entire system, both the unix host
and the windows client, and I'm back to getting "mq>" when on the "fixed"
machine I got "┗>" (that's the lower left corner of a box, for those of
you without a Japanese font). The first of those looks like the letters
"m" and "q" in nvi as I edit, but in the mutt screen they're a circle and
a square (two characters, not one). I'll try today to dig out the old
windows client to check, but I seem to recall that the font I used did
NOT have a maroon "TT" in front of it, but the settings pop-up in TeraTerm
doesn't seem to want to offer the exact same set of fonts as I had before.
(Any Windoze guru on this list who can tell me how to access fonts?)
Another possibility is that I munged up and/or lost my customized terminfo
description file. That also has to be right to get those "box-drawing"
multibyte characters.
If I ever get the thing fixed, I'll report back so it's archived this time.

PS Tom, are there just no posts on lynx-dev, or did I get bumped off again?
Almost seemed to be working there for a couple of days.
