I'd guess this has a lot to do with screen's terminfo/termcap entries. In releases prior to 8.0, we shipped screen with UTF-8 translation enabled. Unfortunately, screen's UTF-8 handling doesn't appear to work very well, so in 8.0, we disabled it. So, this bug is present (in different forms) on Roswell, 7.2 and 7.3. In 8.0, a similar behavior occurs - except that in this case, it's not a bug (because we explicitly disabled UTF-8 support in screen). I recommend placing the following line in your .muttrc: set ascii_chars=yes It is less visually clean, but worked in all LANG/TERM settings I tried on 7.2 and 8.0. My apologies, but since I received this bug a "bit" late and it's fixed in our current release, I'm not going to fix it. |

I see m, q, and * rather than the proper lines I see with the screen session running from the console. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.in a gnome terminal run "screen mutt" 2.sort messages by thread 3.observe strange characters that represent the threads rather than the expected lines and right angles and the like Actual Results: 2504 N Aug 12 Nerijus Baliuna ( 25) x tq> 2505 N Aug 12 Robert Love ( 36) x x mq> 2506 N Aug 12 Manuel McLure ( 29) x tq> 2507 N Aug 12 Manuel McLure ( 102) x x mq> 2508 N Aug 12 Linus Torvalds ( 21) x x mq> 2509 N Aug 12 Manuel McLure ( 27) x x mq> 2510 N Aug 12 Linus Torvalds ( 42) x x mq> 2511 N Aug 12 Manuel McLure ( 30) x x mq> 2512 N Aug 12 Paul G.
