I fired up uxterm+vim, set the enc to =utf8 followd by ":dig ., 8230" and thus verified that the "unicode" version of the terminus font has the correct glyph. When I finish switching to "lenny" where I believe utf8 is the default, I'll see if it's worth the effort adding fun stuff like that to my emails. Though I'm a bit sceptical as to the relevance of proper typesetting in the context of terminal applications such as vim/mutt.
