It may interest readers of this list to know that I was able to solve
this problem by downloading and installing rxvt, then modifying mbox.bat
to execute:

    ============================================================
    C:\Cygwin\bin\rxvt.exe -fn courier -fg Black -bg Wheat -sr -e E:\mbox.sh 
"%1"
    ============================================================

This works great - I can open mbox files with mutt by clicking
on them in Firefox.

However, now I have a different (though minor) problem, which
may in fact be more closely related to mutt than my original
question:

When I call up mutt, the first mail line covers the help line, like this:

    q:Q1   T 2009-05-27 John Johnston    10K  RE: Metadaten
       2 r T 2009-05-27 John Johnston    10K  |=>
       3 r C 2009-05-29 Barbara Jones    13K  `->                          

Only when I read a message and return to the index do the index lines return
to their proper position, showing the help line:

    q:Quit  d:Del  u:Undel  s:Save  m:Mail  r:Reply  g:Group  ?:Help
       1   T 2009-05-27 John Johnston    10K  RE: Metadaten
       2 r T 2009-05-27 John Johnston    10K  |=>
       3 r C 2009-05-29 Barbara Jones    13K  `->                          

A minor annoyance, but is this perhaps a known problem, particularly with X 
windows?

Many thanks,
Tom Baker
