Yep; mutt is helping you build the command line ...
% finishes '.signature', yet it opens it as a new file. Is mutt not
% correctly resolving '~'?
... but it's the shell that isn't handling that. Call it a bug or a
feature, but mutt hands off your specified command line to the shell you
specify -- or perhaps to the shell specified at compile time to *then*
hand off to your specified shell -- and the sh derivatives don't know
what ~ means.
