    I have a feeling that I should know this, but I don't, and I'm not quite
    sure how to google for the answer. Any insight would be greatly
    appreciated.

    I occasionally view a message I've received in mutt and see the following:

    \225We have new reversible jerseys.

    (The \225 being of note, not the reversible jerseys.)

    What is this, and how can I view it properly?

    Details that may be relevant:

    At least in one message's case, 'v' in mutt shows the content as
    text/plain, 7bit, us-ascii

    I'm using mutt through screen.

    It appears that screen sets TERMCAP; I don't know if that's relevant.
