Mutt calls the editor after that.
Which one did you set?  please check:

  echo $EDITOR
  echo $VISUAL
  grep -i editor /etc/Muttrc
  grep -i editor $HOME/.muttrc

now, if it is "vim" and the DISPLAY
variable is set then it migh try to
contact that DISPLAY - unto the timeout.

Try this then:
$ unset DISPLAY; mutt
Does it work now?

Next try: Chose a braindead editor:
$ EDITOR=pico; mutt

Better?

Sven
