Don't remove them, change them to single quotes.
Better yet, just for testing, try the simple:
set editor=vim
If that still doesn't work, well, I'm at a loss. Maybe vim is not in
your path? Can you execute it with !vim from within Mutt? Maybe try
creating a shell script wrapper around vim and then capture the exit
code? Perhaps add a "press any key to continue" pause before exiting
that script, so you can see if vim gives you any errors when being run
(they might flash past your screen so fast that you never see them
normally).

It shouldn't, I doubt this behaviour has changed recently.
Mutt 1.2 did get released just today, you may want to upgrade to that
for other reasons. (Numerous improvements, better IMAP support, bug
fixes, yadda yadda yadda...)

Okay, good. The thing you pasted to me looked like it was from a
.muttrc file.
