How about implementing your own with a mutt alias?


  alias mutt='mutt ${MUTTRC:+-F ${MUTTRC}}'

If MUTTRC is not set, or is the empty string, this becomes
just "mutt" and ~/.muttrc will be used as normal.  But if
MUTTRC is set it becomes "mutt -F ${MUTTRC}" and uses the
rc file specified in the variable.
