I'm not at my Linux box now, but I believe mutt must 
have a config file somewhere.  I've never heard of 
a non-existent ~/.muttrc, but I suppose it's possible.

If you've verified that nothing exists in ~, then check 
for a master mutt config file in /etc, and see if 
something there is declaring jove as the default editor.

Just a guess, hth, George
