I don't know what might be causing mutt to hang, but I think it's safe
to say that it isn't your editor. What you did correctly sets the
editor to pico. And it's not a path issue, either. If the editor you
specify doesn't exist, Mutt should just come back saying it's aborting
the unmodified message.
Good luck with finding the problem.
