Doesn't work.  I probably should have mentioned that I see this problem 
in these terminals:

- putty on windows
- xterm on linux
- gnome-terminal on linux
- multi-gnome-terminal on linux
- linux on linux (ie logged into the console)

Doing an export TERM=vt100 before invoking mutt sometimes, but not 
always, can make some of these problems go away (but not this one).

This is an example of what I am seeing:
