You could build mutt with 'slang' support instead of ncurses. Put the
following in /etc/make.conf:
.if ${.CURDIR:M*/mail/mutt}
WITH_MUTT_SLANG=yes
.endif
OTOH, I'm using mutt-devel built with the system ncurses library
(libncursesw.so.8) in an rxvt-unicode terminal window without problems. I do
have 'LANG=en_US.UTF-8' and 'LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8' set in my environment, 'set
charset="utf-8"' in my ~/.muttrc and am using the
'Rxvt*font: -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--14-130-75-75-c-70-iso10646-1' font
set in ~/.Xresources.
