Hmmmm. I tried all the Mac fonts, fixed width and otherwise, except the truly goofy useless ones, and every single one gave me the same ~T nonsense, unless I set ascii_chars=yes, in which case they all gave me the simple ASCII faux line drawing chars. I didn't see any other likely mutt config possibilities, and this at least works, so I will stick with it for now. I am not sure how Linux ended up with better fonts for mutt than the Mac, but my short experience with this Mac has convinced me yet again that I wish my company used Linux laptops, with proper focus follows mouse, working virtual desktops, and lack of lockups. I should count my blessings -- at least it isn't a Winders laptop. -- ... _._. ._ ._. . _._. ._. ___ .__ ._. . .__. ._ .. ._.
