I've been using a full UTF-8 locale since 2005. I don't have any problems with the thread indicators, and I don't recall having any anytime recently. On the other hand, if I start an xterm (by hand) in a non-UTF-8 locale, then change the locale to UTF-8 and run mutt, I get messed up thread indicators. Selecting the "UTF-8" menu option Thomas pointed out in this thread and hitting C-l fixes everything right up, though. Could that be your problem? btw, my locale(1) outputs: [EMAIL PROTECTED] locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 Daniel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
