if you just need a *textual* screenshot from mutt
then start "screen" and start mutt inside.
use "CTRL-A h" to make a "hardcopy" of the current window.
the result will then be in the file $HOME/hardcopy.N
where N is the Number of the window.

As for making a snapshot of a terminal with
all pixels you could use "xv" or "gimp".

example:
http://www.guckes.net/mutt/pics/screenshot.2002-09-05.png

this shows my current desktop with the screen session (mutt is
in window #0 "mail"), netscape 4.77 showing the FSF home page,
and with the window of TheGimp while taking the screenshot.

Select "Xtns" (extensions) from the menu, then "Screen Shot" -
and in the following "Grab" dialog you can then select from
taking a shot from a window (with and without "decorations")
or the whole screen (even after some seconds delay).  enjoy!
