The existing code isn't that complicated, because it's just converting the sequences into ncurses attribute calls.
Handling bitmaps is a different story. First, because you'd need to find out what (if any) support there is with ncurses. But on top of that the Mutt pager rendering would need to be expanded to take them into account, along with all the fun options involving line wrapping, markers, etc.
