% Yes, it thinks the file is newer (and it is). I guess the problem is

So it *is* your setup :-)


% evim (a gui program) is not running on the same terminal as mutt, in
% fact in no terminal.  

OK.  So when evim fires off, does mutt return immediately, or does it
wait for evim to finish?  In the case of the former, can you tell evim
not to fork but to instead remain in the foreground for as long as the
window is open and *then* exit and return?  That will get mutt to wait
until the update is done (and should take care of the abort_unmodified
bit since mutt won't look to the message file until it *has* been
modified) and should take care of your needs.

Right; you've pinned it down above.  Good enough.
