You didn't have ANSI.SYS installed.   Put in your CONFIG.SYS

device=c:\dos\ansi.sys

to have it installed when you boot up.   The bizarre stuff that
appears at the bottom are escape codes to move cursor around.

Another helpful thing is to put

set ME=C:\mutt\

in your AUTOEXEC.BAT so that it will know where to find the
support files (of course, you will probably have it installed
on a different directory, but you get the idea don't you ?).
Make sure that you put the trailing backslash ("\"), otherwise
it won't be able to find anything because it just appends the
filename it is looking for to that string.
