mutt-bad

If built with NCURSES, the thread display is broken, see the two screenshots attached.

Comment 2 Kurt Jaeger freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2016-04-10 16:21:34 UTC 
maintainer tried to reproduce, more context is needed.
Comment 3 Udo.Schweigert 2016-10-17 05:12:58 UTC 
I propose to close this, as now there is already version 1.7.0 released which probably fixes that problem (not double-checked, as I can't reproduce).
Comment 4 Kurt Jaeger freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2016-10-17 05:17:30 UTC 
I will test again with the newer mutt.
Comment 5 Tilman Keskinoz freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2017-01-19 20:21:21 UTC 
Did you test with the latest version? Still reproducable?
Comment 6 Kurt Jaeger freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2017-01-19 20:42:43 UTC 
Sorry that it took me so long to re-test. Re-tested on 12amd64 just
a few minutes ago, yes, problem still persists.

Attachment follows.

m, the screenshot looks like your locale is messed up. (see Mail from Ulrich Sp??rlein for example.).

Maybe mutt ncurses uses non-ascii/unicode characters to render the threads?
Comment 9 Kurt Jaeger freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2017-01-19 20:58:52 UTC 
LC_CTYPE=C
LANG=C

what would you suggest to change ?
Comment 10 Tilman Keskinoz freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2017-01-19 21:08:50 UTC 
I use en_US.UTF8 and it looks ok.

e.g.:

try this:

echo -e "\0342\0224\0224\0342\0224\0200\0076"

should give you "└─>" (mutt's arrow showing a reply in a thread).
