From what I can tell, it allows some characters to take up two
columns. For example, an em-dash (—) is hard to tell from an en-dash
(–) or even a hyphen (-) without an actual change in width. This makes
more sense when using a non-monospaced font (as em-dashes are
naturally the same width as an m, which are the same width as
everything else in such fonts). It becomes an issue when mutt does
something that calls up a symbol from outside the monospaced font,
such as the horizontal line character used to draw the threading
arrows. This has a natural width that is slightly wider than all the
other characters, and so when that option is enabled, the horizontal
line glyph occupies two columns (it’s centered in the two-column
area).
At least, I *think* that’s how this works, based on how it seems to
behave.
Thanks as always, Alain.
