There's a web-based .muttrc generator linked from the mutt.org site.

Erm... you can use anything you want - even gnotepad (say) if you use mutt in
an xterm.  I was using pico for mutt for quite a long time till I saw the light
(Glory! Hallelujah!) and started using vim ;)  That's one thing we _have_ to
stress in the FAQ - just because vi[m] is the default editor doesn't mean that
you are stuck with it.
