I would suspect that this is a UTF-8 issue.  I see funny accented
letters instead of arrows and lines and stuff when I use mutt over
Putty - PuTTY expects ISO-8859-1 characters but it's actually getting
UTF-8 ones.

On the other hand, I'm also using Debian with the same locale and
don't see accented letters.  (This is with xterm.  It looks much the
same in gnome-terminal.)  I do see funny little boxes in the top line
of the display though.
