Sure, just like every other unix mail program I've ever seen. And mutt
even has it documented for you:
6.1
...
Mutt also supports a ``batch'' mode to send prepared messages. Simply
redirect input from the file you wish to send. For example,
mutt -s "data set for run #2" [EMAIL PROTECTED] < ~/run2.dat
This command will send a message to ``[EMAIL PROTECTED]'' with a
subject of ``data set for run #2''. In the body of the message will
be the contents of the file ``~/run2.dat''.
As always, you can use /dev/null is you don't want to have any message
body, or send the input in on stdin with something like
echo "this is the useless message body" | mutt ...
% email
% without prompting me for any input? Any help will be appreciated.
You can start by checking in the manual; it has all sorts of great
information.

Boy, I hope that this is in the mutt-newbie FAQ when it comes around...
