Vim saves backups in *.sw?-files. Mutt's tempfiles are named
/tmp/mutt-$HOSTNAME..., with ... being some numbers. So you should be
able to recover the mail by looking for /tmp/mutt-*.sw? and then
starting vim with the *original* filename (i.e. w/o the .sw?-Suffix).
Then it will tell you it found a backup and ask if you want to recover.
cheers!
