Assuming for the sake of this example a bash shell:
You could create a .muttbashrc file which, after sourcing your regular
rc file, says
PS1="mutt-shell: "
and then in mutt (or your .muttrc)
:set shell="/bin/bash -rcfile /home/username/.muttbashrc"
But if you open more subshells, you're on your own. :)
