I have tried mutt on another gentoo box and i seen to have exactly the same problem. Another thing i notice is that I have set sort=threads and the trees as red, on my gentoo box these display correctly using -,= and > chars but on my freebsd box they are displayed with wq> x's and m>'s. Cheers for your help Matty.
