I would normally put "export EDITOR=emacsclient" in my .bash_profile for stuff like this. Many programs will use $EDITOR, if defined. If you're using csh, put something like "setenv EDITOR emacsclient" in your .cshrc. If mutt doesn't honor this convention, you may need to separately define set editor="emacsclient" somewhere. I don't know. This is the "client interface" for emacs, specifically designed for this purpose. It will attach to a running emacs, if possible, or create a new one, if necessary. See man emacsclient(1). Since I mostly use xemacs these days, I actually use "gnuclient" for this purpose, instead. It has a man page, too.
