Several ways.
One which springs to mind is a shell wrapper, say called runmutt, which
tests the name of the machine and runs mutt as appropriate. Something
like:
#/bin/sh
#
NODE=`uname -n`
if [ $NODE = "muttandnews" ]; then
mutt -nntpflags
else
mutt
fi
adjusted as appropriate for your systems.
There are several other ways of course, this is my 7 a.m. in the morning
suggestion :)
