Mutt uses curses.  I built mutt on a NT box with cygwin.  If you want,
you could grab the python sources and build it against cygwin to get
(n)curses support.  If you do that, you will create a dependency of
python on cygwin.  Cygwin will allow you to still link against MS libs
like COM stuff (I think) but not MSVCRT (unless you pick MSVCRT
instead of glibc).

Otherwise I think you're stuck with DOS terminals (and custom
interfaces made with python) instead of ncurses terminals.
