That's great! Thank you!

As for Mutt, I downloaded the sources via Cygwin setup.exe and
recompiled against ncursesw. As I couldn't find a suitable configure
option, I had to edit the Makefile as follows to (1) enable ncursesw
and (2) skip building the documentation (which would fail):

          \,,,/
          (o o)
------oOOo-(_)-oOOo------
diff Makefile Makefile.orig

< CPPFLAGS =  -I/usr/include/ncursesw -I$(top_srcdir)/intl
-I$(includedir)

-------------------------

Text in Russian or Greek looks perfect now. Same for Mutt's
internationalized messages in German, Russian, Greek.

(Japanese, Korean and Chinese are another story, possibly on account
of missing fonts.)

Great job, ncursesw! I think just like Vim users, Mutt users would
also appreciate Unicode support.
