I got ascii line-drawing characters. (Not multibyte characters as I
suggested in my previous post.)

I did get it fixed. In my case it was totally a WindowsXP issue, and had
nothing to do with mutt nor the curses library nor the terminal description
(terminfo) nor the operating system on which mutt runs.
Install "LETGOTHL.TTF" in your windows\fonts directory, assuming you are
using a gothic font. Be sure your terminal emulator is using the correct
font by entering the full path to the font, not just the font name. Should
work for people running Mutt (or any text-based application) on a remote
machine and using Windoze communication/terminal emulation software to access.
