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.
