Some comments and observations :
gnome-terminal (in fact, GTK+ itself (ver. 1.2)) doesn't support
multi-byte characters (Unicode, UTF-8, etc)
gnome-terminal (often times with my setup, at least) doesn't
support the "line-drawing" characters in the upper range of
ISO-8859-1 (or whatever (standard/common) charset it is)
mutt can use the line drawing characters (nicer) or it can revert
to similar characters from the US-ASCII charset
linux console can display the line drawing characters quite well
If it looks find in linux console, then for use in gnome-terminal set
ascii_chars
in your .muttrc.
