My initial guess is that this is not a mutt problem but rather a display
problem related to your environment. What does your LANG and LC variables
look like and what are your locale settings? If at all possible, run with
UTF-8.
It could also be related to the font used in Xterm, so worth trying
another font (preferably one that has a decent portion of the UTF-8
glyphs).
