Mutt is supposed to and has been known to work with double-width
characters, provided it has an appropriate terminal library, such as
ncursesw or a UTF-8 version of slang.
Recent versions of Debian use ncursesw, but Red Hat 9 seems to use
slang:
$ cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Linux release 9 (Shrike)
$ ldd /usr/bin/mutt
libslang-utf8.so.1 => /usr/lib/libslang-utf8.so.1 (0x4002b000)
...
Judging by the library name this is supposed to work, so can you
describe a reproducible bug?
