set editor="MyFavorite" in your ~/.muttrc or just stick the following line in your shell resource file (~/.bashrc or whatever): export EDITOR=YourFavouriteEditor in case you use csh or tcsh: setenv EDITOR YourFavouriteEditor This will also work for other applications, who will then use "YourFavouriteEditor" instead of the default (usually vi).
