Jon Bendtsen proclaimed on mutt-users that:

eh? This ...
set editor="/usr/bin/vim"
doesn't call up pico, emacs or whatever, just vim.
Check
1. Whether there's a typo in your config
2. Whether jove is defined as the editor in your .muttrc (just setting the
shell variable wont do) - mutt might use /etc/Muttrc (or whatever) for its
config if you dont have one defined.
Quick and dirty fix - create a .muttrc file with only the above line in it :)
