Well no. The thread chars are ACS chars. That is a special terminal
mode. You can play around with it: echo "X(0X)B" | tr 'X' '\033'
"reset" (even if you can't read it then will get you back to the normal
mode again)
You can't use ACS chars in your mutt config. (unless you are in a utf
environent where they are normal chars)

Your problem seems to be a font that simply doesn't use a continuous bar
for the pipe. I guess you see two bars, which is a common representation
too.
On my screen the original post in this thread looks just
as you want it to be. (http://init0.homeunix.org/mutt/mutt_pipe.png)
I use -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-15-140-75-*-c-*-iso8859-15 FWIW

HTH,

Michael
