Thank you so much for your help with this. All I had to do was install libncursesw5-dev and reconfigure mutt and it worked. I did not have to chance any configure flag. I originally read this: http://dev.mutt.org/trac/wiki/MuttFaq/Charset which was helpful (although not very structured), and it mentions something about about ncurses with wide char support, but I did not try it because it is listed under "UTF-8 chars are displayed fine, but the screen is garbled" which I don't think described my problem. Also, I did not need to specify "--enable-widec". Please let me know if an update is needed to that page and I will make an account and attempt a change. However, since I do not know anything about this topic deeply I am hesitant to do anything without further confirmation. Kind Regards, Xu

Thus, it will prefer the use of ncursesw over ncurses. > I originally read this: > http://dev.mutt.org/trac/wiki/MuttFaq/Charset > which was helpful (although not very structured), and it mentions > something about about ncurses with wide char support, but I did not > try it because it is listed under > "UTF-8 chars are displayed fine, but the screen is garbled" > which I don't think described my problem.

That configure switch is not available in my branch. > Please let me know if an update is needed to that page and I will make > an account and attempt a change.

But, I am just a simple mutt user, so I don't feel to en- or even discourage you doing so ;-) Cheers, -- Bastian

See: http://dev.mutt.org/hg/mutt/file/70b85d8b232b/configure.ac#l271 and check how occurrence of "ncursesw" has precedence over "ncurses" A simple: ldd /usr/bin/mutt gives which ncurses* library is used by mutt binary.
