smells like there should be a newbieDoc in this somewhere...

to answer your last question,
yes.

to satisfy your curiosity further:
just to be sure, try
$ apt-get install vim-rt
then you can have your own ~/.muttrc color-designator specs,
including something like
set editor="vim -c 'set ft=mail tw=64'"

and in your ~/.vimrc, try something like
set background=dark
" use my personal syntax file
let mysyntaxfile = "~/.syntax.vim"
syntax on
which links to a corresponding ~/.syntax.vim looking like
" There are two sets of defaults: for a dark and a light background.
if &background == "dark"

" vim: ts=19 sts=0
(that final line tells vim to set tabs for cleaner display, which
wouldn't be needed if i used fifty gazillion spaces instead of
itty bitty ol' tabs. this is a religious issue, beware.)
if you're hungry for more, there's lots. try
$ locate syntax.vim
$ locate mail.vim
$ lynx /usr/share/doc/mutt/html/manual.html
$ lynx http://www.mutt.org/
