If your (or your systems vimrc) contains the
:filetype plugin on
statement (use :filetype to find out your settings), vim will
automatically detect mutt files as filetype mail. In that case, you can
simply drop all mail specific settings into ~/.vim/ftplugin/mail.vim
of even ~/.vim/after/ftplugin/mail.vim (create files or directories if
needed) if you want those settings to override filetype plugin specific
settings.

In other words, you don't need to take care of quoting for setting the
editor in your .muttrc file, simply set it to vim and put all settings
into a single file.

If your vimrc does not contain this line, I suggest to add it.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen
