I am running mutt in an xterm window which I start using the uxterm
script, which comes bundled with the xterm package (I am using version
XFree86 4.2.0(165)). You have to choose the appropriate font and font
size in order to successfully read your mail. Here is my setting, which
should work for any UTF-8 setting including ja_JP.UTF-8.

export LC_CTYPE=zh_CN.UTF-8
uxterm -fn -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--18-120-100-100-c-90-iso10646-1 \
-T mutt -e /usr/bin/mutt -F ~/.mutt/muttrc-utf
