Your pound sign looked ok to me with mutt on my xterm - so I suppose
you typed it and mailed it correctly, yet had trouble displaying it.

In case they offer you clues, here are some of my environment
variables (I have mutt in an xterm running over ssh -X on a SuSE Linux
8.2 box from another SuSE 8.2)

LANG=en_US
LC_COLLATE=POSIX
TERM=xterm

and some .muttrc boilerplate that I use, quoted from and copyright (c)
